Blanca, I will try to help with your request. With a good coach I believe there will be no problem. I wish I had a coach when I was a kid. I will be
in B.A. at the end of the month.

now that is right on RenoJoe! thanks
The kids in La Bocana are actually quite resourceful and maybe I should post more info and photos about what they do to raise cash. My bad. Car
washes are quite popular as the locals are keen to maintain all vehicles crystal clean at all times. The high school seniors are doing these all week
to raise money for a senior trip.
There is easily one item per week per school (4) being raffled: cell phones being the most popular item raffled off. The most recent raffle was to
raise money for the school scholarship program and I bought two and I just pray I win that house in La Paz (first prize) but I am not holding my
breath.
Food food food is another biggie- last weekend two kids came around with strawberries and cream. I always buy enough for whomever is selling and
myself (duh) and we sit down and eat together! They LOVE coming to our house! These two just wanted to raise a little cash for pocket money and mom
was helping them out.
So, getting back to the boxing equipment - we are so far away from any store, being that we are in the boondocks of Baja, there is no way we could
ever get boxing stuff without help. so, thanks for the trying RenoJoe!

well RenoJoe has absolutely made me grateful today. I was hoping for gently used boxing gear and what did he do? He bought and brought down some a m
a z I n g stuff for the boxers!
and I want to thank Shari in Asuncion who took the bags over to the high school so that it could be then brought to La Bocana last night!
and thanks to my college student Andres, who had his girlfriend pick up the bags after night school in Asuncion, she then went by bus to Punta
Prieta, where he picked her and bags up. Talk about a challenge.
Thanks thanks thanks Joe.
I will be stopping by the boxing training facility when we get back from La Paz in a week, to see how it is set up. I just found out where it was a
couple days ago.
