After the multiple earthquakes that hit Mexico in September, the employees of the Saltillo – Monterrey Highway (CAMS) joined together in a corporate responsibility initiative to collect food and supplies to help the inhabitants of the states of Oaxaca and Chiapas, the most affected by these natural disasters. Together, they collected 100 kilos of supplies: soups, tins of beans and tuna, toilet paper, cleaning supplies, bottles of water, baby food and personal hygiene items. The CESC (Centro Educativo Santa Catarina) and the Monterrey Boy Scouts association were responsible for distributing these products in the affected areas.
