Today we enjoyed the beautiful sight (and smell) of a Texas Ebony tree planted at Sam Houston Elementary School. It was planted in 2024 as part of a 10,000 square foot Tiny Forest; thanks to the leadership and care of Principal Jessica Lowe and the school staff, it is blooming and thriving. In just a few minutes of visiting the Tiny Forest, we saw butterflies, hummingbirds, and multitudes of flowers. This is just one example of how Quinta Mazatlan works with partners to advance environmental education, eco-tourism, and the environment for the health of all.

The Edgar A Fuentes Memorial Scholarship was created to honor the memory of my father who was a Band Director at PSJA for over 20 years. Our nonprofit Obreros del Bien, together with donations from Nuri Fusion Street Kitchen and our sister company F&B EMS along with our donors throughout the years, were able to donate (2) $1,000.00 Scholarships to Bryan and Daniel from PSJA High School in order to pursue their Music Education Degree here at UTRGV. We are honored to be able to give back to our community and look forward to many more years of success so we can be able to do more for the region. We are blessed to be a blessing.
