Ambassador
Garza's card carries a print of the oil painting "Bullfighter"
by Victor Mendez, a Mexican student at the John
Langdon Down Foundation for children with Down syndrome.
The artist
was unable to attend the Los Pinos presentation for reasons
of health, but he was represented by his classmates Mynca
Pacheco, Erik Alcantara and Vicente Morales Becker.
The
John Langdon Down Foundation was established in Mexico in
1972, the first of its kind in Latin America. In 1993, the
art workshop began, which led to today's Mexican School
of Down Art. Foundation Director Susana Villanueva and professor
Silvia Garcia Escamilla joined the students in the card
presentation to Mrs. Fox.
