in the security industry & raised an amazing US $36.000
during their official launch in Mexico City. The objective
of Mission 500 is to sponsor 500 children in need via the
sponsorship of World Vision. 100 % of the finds goes directly
to World Vision. This organization provides food, clothing
and education for those I need. Mission 500 was launched
in Mexico during the dinner gala for ALAS’ 10th Anniversary.
During this gala, the organizers of Expo Seguridad gave the
World Vision representative a check for US $5.000 from the
fair profit to help with Mexican street children. In addition,
Samsung GVI donated a 42" Plasma TV, which was raffled
among visitors to the venue and raised US $1,100. Andrea
Ferrando, of Expo Seguridad México and public relation
coordinator of Mission 500, said "there are more than
50 million people in Mexico who live in poverty; 10 million
of those are children who live on the streets under terrible
conditions”. It is our duty as a company who does business
in Mexico to raise public awareness and to contribute as
much as possible to find a solution”. Alan Forman,
president of Altronix asked the audience to sponsor 30 children
and announced that his company would donate US $10,000. The
audience responded and after donating enough for 22 children,
