CDV Highlights Sponsor a child!
A little money goes a long way in Baja, Mexico. Just $62.50 a month can feed a child and provide for their utilities and most basic needs. Help us start at the beginning - one child at a time. Any amount helps!
You have the power to make a difference in a child's life. Your donation could possibly change everything for one child. Help change a child's life and become a child sponsor. Click here for more information.  |
 The Hacienda Orphanage in Tijuana has over 100 children and serves more than 300 meals a day. Thanks to a generous grant from a charitable foundation, we were able to replace the old appliances with commercial quality equipment. Some additions to the kitchen are: a new range with 6 burners, 2 ovens and a 36" griddle, a 3 container sink with a flexible faucet, and 2 stainless steel work tables! RE Cares is a dedicated and enthusiastic group of employees and their affiliates from Reed Elsevier in San Diego who support both the Hacienda and La Roca homes. Reed Elsevier's spring funding granted San Diego RE Cares $10,000 for the La Roca Orphanage. The small onsite La Roca library was upgraded to better meet the needs of the La Roca Primary School students. On August 21st, RE employees and their family and friends cleaned and organized the area for the library. They also assembled furniture, organized books, installed ceiling fans, hung window treatments and set up a computer room. Thank you!

Fundraising Ideas
CDV volunteers Melissa and Cory have created an online donation campaign to help raise money for CDV and the children of Baja while they compete in a triathlon. Their miles on the street, in the water and on bicycles will be difficult, but they are doing it for the kids. Please donate to support them.
Great idea Melissa and Cory - we hope you come in first place!
