Nick Baldwins idea of prerunning
Nick Baldwin and team were in town this weekend to prerun the 250 course. But Baldwin, the driver of the #99 Riviera Trophy Truck, spent very little
time out on the course. Instead Nick and his team spent most of their time remodeling a kindergarten classroom here in San Felipe.
Last fall prior to the Baja Mil Baldwin, through his Acts of Kindness foundation, made a monetary donation to the Bertha Von Glumer Kindergarten for
the restoration of an old classroom being used in the new english language program. At the time he stated that he was willing to help with whatever
else was needed. That donation provided a tile floor and books and other learning material.
This weekend he proved that his pledge was for his muscle as well as his money. Nick along with five of his employees spent their time refinishing
walls, repainting, and installing new lighting fixtures. The old dingy classroom is now bright and vibrant and doesn't even look like the same place.
Thanks to Nick Baldwin and his AOK foundation, the 60 english students have a much improved learning environment.
Nick has stated that his help here will be ongoing and not just something to do with ths San Felipe 250.
Mr Baldwin can only be commended for his active involvment in the lives of the school children here in San Felipe. This is a great example of how some
of the racers do other things, while in Baja, besides creating dust and scaring lizards.
