Dear friends and family, this past Saturday I had the opportunity to visit three orphanages in Baja through an organization called, Corazón de Vida. This organization is based in Irvine and they help feed more than 800 children each month. They are merely putting a "dent" in the need to reach the needs of the more than 50 orphanages throughout Baja. One of the most heartbreaking sights, were the conditions of the nurseries. They are in need of crib sheets, diapers, wipes, baby food and formula. If you can help with any of the above, let me know and I will pick the items up and make sure they get to the facilities that are the neediest. Each month Corazón de Vida takes a bus trip with roughly 50 volunteers to the different facilities to interact with the children. Some of the activities include crafts, BBQ's, reading, puzzle making etc. This is a good opportunity to give your own children a reality check. If you would like to participate in one of the monthly bus trip in the future, let me know and I can supply you with the necessary information. You may also visit the Corazón de Vida web site.
Take care, Beckie
