Thursday that the community will hold a fundraiser Oct. 15 to help the victims of Mexico’s 7.1-magnitude earthquake that occurred on Sept. 19.
Luis Morales, spokesman for the event titled “One Mexico,” said the Mexican community has received great support from both local Taiwanese and the Latin American community since the devastating earthquake.
“We have received many expressions of condolence, but more than condolences, we have received messages of hope and strength,” Morales told CNA in an email.
Morales said he has been impressed by the level of attention the public is paying to the earthquake, adding that his community was told by the Mexican Office in Taipei that it has received many calls from Taiwanese people wanting to help.
