By giving the 2005 Partnership for Prosperity Good Partner Award to Hewlett-Packard of Mexico and to the Mexican small business and financing firm Patronato Pro Zona Mazahua, we are acknowledging the positive role companies on both sides of the border are playing by investing in Mexico’s future and in Mexico’s most important resource, its people,” said U.S. Ambassador Antonio O.
