Magnetism classes were also given to elementary school students in Pesquería, with more than a thousand students benefiting.
With the KIA District – Good Neighbor program, the company seeks to contribute to the development of the neighborhood community in the Colinas del Aeropuerto neighborhood , in partnership with the organization Paz Es , so various activities were carried out, such as the cleaning brigade and a neighborhood fair.
