Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo — The state government, through the DIF Quintana Roo social welfare agency and the DIF Playa del Carmen, held simultaneous Children’s Day celebrations in more than 100 communities across the state, including 13 localities in the municipality of Solidaridad. The events brought color, laughter, and memorable moments to thousands of families.

The official launch in Playa del Carmen took place in front of the Municipal DIF offices. State Government Secretary Cristina Torres, along with Eduardo Asencio, honorary president of DIF Playa del Carmen; Director General Deyanira Martínez; Bárbara Alpuche, representative of the State DIF in the Northern Zone; and other authorities, flagged off 13 vehicles forming a convoy headed to various communities.
