The Vega de San Mateo City Council hosts Project YOTI at the Patchwork Fair, where fabric donations will be collected to support vulnerable children.

Project YOTI will be present during the San Mateo Patchwork Fair, specifically at the City Council's stand, located in the Plaza de la Solidaridad. The goal is to raise awareness of their work and collect fabric donations, especially cotton scraps, that can have a new life.
For over three years, Project YOTI has been working to support children and adolescents going through situations of special vulnerability. To date, they have freely distributed over 1,500 YOTI bunnies to professionals and entities working with minors in difficult circumstances.

"A YOTI is not just a doll: in the hands of a professional, it can become a therapeutic tool to build trust, facilitate communication, and emotionally support a child."

Project YOTI
The initiative emphasizes that a fabric you no longer use can become a YOTI and, in this way, help a minor. Attendees are encouraged to visit the City Council's stand in the Plaza de la Solidaridad to make their fabric donations and learn more about this project.
Project YOTI does not request money or subsidies; its primary needs are materials and helping hands. For more information, visit proyectoyoti.es.
