The Herbalife Family Foundation (HFF) and the LA Galaxy Foundation paid
a visit this week to Hogar y Futuro, A.C., a Mexico City-based orphanage
that shelters abandoned children, orphans and children who require
temporary protection.
During a ceremony, LA Galaxy and HFF committed to a joint financial
donation. In addition, Herbalife will provide monthly supplies of
Herbalife® nutritional products as well as education activities designed
to ensure the children have access to the information they need to live
a healthy and active life.
“It is an honor for me to be back in Mexico supporting a project that
provides children access to better nutrition,” said Chris Klein, LA
Galaxy president and former professional soccer player for the same
club. “We are proud to promote the sporting aspect of this partnership,
and hopefully one of these children will become a future soccer star.”
At the ceremony, Chris Klein, players and coaches from the LA Galaxy and
Herbalife executives and independent distributors interacted with the
children and provided them with clothing, toys and school supplies.
Hogar y Futuro, A.C.’s mission is to provide children with a home and a
promising future through education and support. In addition to the
orphanage this institution also has a Child Development Center (CENDI),
where pre-school education and food is provided to almost 200 children
daily.
