It Takes Community to Help a Community

in Nov 07, 2013

 

A friend of mine, Lauren Schneider introduced me to Corazon de Vida. When I met Hilda Pacheco-Taylor, the founder, and she told me her story about how she came from the orphanage I was enamored with the opportunity to use recruiting for good to help the orphans.

Most People don't know that I am Mexican. And although I look like a gavacho (a person with light complexion), I am really a chilango (a person from Mexico City). Whenever Mexico plays the U.S. in soccer I have mixed feelings because I love both.

How Does Community Help a Community

We start with the purpose of who, what, where, why, and how.
Who is Corazon de Vida, the foundation has been serving Baja orphans for 20 years.
What is the lives of orphans and their well being, improving their vital needs to sustain life; improving living conditions, food, clean water, dental, and medical care.
Where in Baja Mexico.
Why to end a cycle of hunger and poverty. By taking care of orphans today, we transform the future of the community.
