Investing in a Child’s Future

September 18, 2017 by Barbara Spencer, MSW Leave a Comment

Academic Achievement

Congratulations to Brayan, Estefanía, and Jennifer, three of our scholarship students, for receiving diplomas in their school year for academic achievement. We are very proud of them!   

 

 

 

 

Mattress Run

There’s nothing like a good night’s sleep!

We delivered a mattress to a young boy who was sleeping on the floor and to a family of eight where Tropical Storm Lidia became a running river through their home. 

 

 

 

Guess Who Got New School Shoes?

Ready To Learn

Just before classes began at the end of August and after classes were in session, generous clients of Tailhunter International Sportfishing donated a huge amount of school supplies.

We’re investing in the future of children by giving them the tools they need to finish school and have successful lives.

Free school supplies can also help ease the burden of school costs for children in need.

Our hope is that every student sees its benefit, works hard and succeeds in life. More photos here and here.

Let’s Play

Our monthly event gives kids the opportunity to engage in races, games, and drawing and to leave with prizes, popcorn and a good time. A big thank you to clients of Tailhunter International Sportfishing for donating the prizes.

Solar Reading Lamps

Trevor Brown, the founder of Baja Connections, a responsible tourism business, has pledged to purchase one rechargeable solar lamp for every whale shark tour they do. We will distribute these lamps to school age children who don’t have electricity in their homes. Baja Connections offers snorkelling, diving, whale watching and whale shark tours in La Paz.  

If you’ve never snorkelled with a whale shark,
the biggest and most docile fish in the ocean, you’ve never really snorkelled. Visit La Paz, swim with these gentle giants and help distribute a lamp to a child.

The Face of An Angel

Our hearts are saddened by the passing of precious, little 10-year old Vania, who recently died of an inoperable brain tumour. Vania was such a blessing to everyone who met her and she will be deeply missed. Our thoughts and prayers go out to her family, who have lost such a beautiful princess.

Improving the Lives of Children and Their Families

Mexicans with few resources live in the poorest
and most marginalized communities.
Many have no access to piped-in water,
electricity or basic sanitation.

We want to help those families live with dignity, hope and opportunity.
