(Minghui.org) The Cuauhtémoc Borough, in collaboration with CADAM — the Center for Care and Development of Older Adults — celebrated the 23rd anniversary of its dedication to the well-being of older adults on July 18, 2025. The event, held at the Valentín Campa Auditorium of the borough, was led by Mayor Alessandra Rojo de la Vega, who announced new initiatives to renovate CADAM.
Three practitioners introduced Falun Dafa and highlighted its core principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance, as well as its benefits for health and general well-being. They also demonstrated the exercises, allowing the audience to experience them firsthand.
The person responsible for organizing the event on behalf of the Cuauhtémoc Borough met a Falun Dafa practitioner after attending a Shen Yun performance with his mother. She was very moved by the performance and shared her impression with a practitioner in the theater lobby. The practitioner explained to her son that Falun Dafa is based on the universal values of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance, and that if humanity connects with and applies them in their lives, the world would be different. The young man said, “I can help. I work at the Cuauhtémoc Borough and help organize many events. This interests me — I want to bring it to more people.”
A few weeks later, the young man met with practitioners to discuss how to prepare for the event in Cuauhtémoc on July 18. Practitioners were invited to the opening ceremony and introduced Falun Dafa to an audience of over 200 people.

At the end of the activity, several attendees expressed interest in learning more about the practice. Many took informational brochures and asked where the local practice sites were.
One woman said, “The energy I felt really impressed me. I wonder what effect practicing fully would have if I felt that much in just a few minutes.”
Mr. Gustavo García, founder of CADAM, approached one of the practitioners to express his strong interest in Falun Dafa and said he wished to organize similar demonstrations for five other groups he coordinates, so that more people could learn about the practice and benefit from it.

The following weekend, some of the people who attended the event visited the nearest practice site. One new attendee shared his experience after the demonstration during the event: “I felt an incredible energy. What is this? I felt so good, and I came with a friend to the practice site. I felt very relaxed — I liked it. I’m going to tell more people because this is what we need nowadays.”
