Topos de Tlatelolco, the Real Heroes
The rescue team Topos de Tlatelolco is a Mexican group of people who help people in case of natural disasters in Mexico or any part of the world. They work for free, so they are a non-profit organization created in Mexico. The organization started when the most terrible earthquake happened in the capital of Mexico on September 19, 1985.
Nowadays, there are about two hundred volunteers - including rescue dogs- and every year it’s a bigger group. They say it’s easier to help in an emergency with a big group than with a small one. Each year, they train volunteers to be part of this team. They are all professional and willing to help. Some volunteers say they feel satisfied when they collaborate in a rescue mission. They look for people under destroyed buildings, give survivors emotional support, and provide food.
This non-profit organization can travel from one place to another faster than before because they have some help from the Mexican government.
