Presentation of Scholarships to Local Students

On September 22, 2015, Almaden representatives presented an additional 15 local students with academic scholarships. Almaden has now awarded a total of 40 scholarships to local students. The students are from 12 local communities, and are pursuing law, psychology, architecture, and business administration. All of us at Almaden wish these students continued success in studies!

Opening of the Public Buildings in Santa Maria Zotoltepec

Almaden Minerals funded the building of new public washrooms, an addition to the Mother & Child health clinic, and an extra room on the elementary school in the town of Santa Maria Zotoltepec. The official opening ceremonies included a dinner and party. Duane and Morgan Poliquin attended the opening ceremonies and cut ribbons at each venue.

Almaden Sponsors the Wheelchair Foundation

In cooperation with the Wheelchair Foundation, Almaden helped sponsor the purchase of over 260 wheelchairs, which were distributed in Puebla, Veracruz, and Oaxaca States in April 2012.

The Wheelchair Foundation is a non-profit charitable organization with a goal to provide a free wheelchair to every child, teen and adult worldwide who needs one, but has no means to acquire one. To date, they have distributed over 900,000 wheelchairs worldwide.

Almaden’s Chairman and President, Duane and Morgan Poliquin, were in Puebla for the presentation. Please visit our blog for more images from the Wheelchair Foundation’s presentation ceremony.
