New on Viva Baja California
We have decided to give all proceeds of video sales to make the Toy Drive happen, so for every video you purchase, all moneys will go for the 262 or
more needy children on this January 10th. http://forums.bajanomad.com/viewthread.php?tid=42767
The videos would make a great gift this holiday season and you would be contributing to a great event at the same time

A hard task you have taken on.
Do you have a monetary goal that you are shooting for?
If so, where are you in contributions ($) and how long do you have left.
A running total of contributions may help you along. Not sure how you would use third party software to keep current on the board, but sure there are
some very smart people out there that could help
Wish you all the luck in the world and a Merry Christmas for all the little folks that need some love and attention very much at this time of the year
God bless you and for those who don't go that way, thank you for being a human-being

This year we do have a monetary goal and that is because we received sponsorship from the Corona Plaza Hotel in Rosarito to have the event there and
also so the kids can have a day out at the same time. We started with 257 children, now it's 262 and I don't know how many more (I was told it would
not be more than 400, wow), because they will be from diferent areas, diferent Casas Hogar.
The goal is to also feed these kids one meal each consisting of tamal, beans, rosca de reyes and drink (usualy hot chocolate). I am yet to get a
donation for the rosca de reyes wich does'nt worry me much since some super markets have them on special by the 10th of Jan. The meals are another
story, plate, fork, cup, napkin, tamal, beans, chocolate is at this time, already placed in Rosarito $30 pesos per person, I'm barganing so we are at
7,860.
For transportation we have 2 big buses sponsored for about 65 kids each plus 2 adults so that is 130 of them already aken care of. I am yet to get
another 2 and if we get no sponsorship it would be 4,000 pesos round trip each.
We have to provide diesel for the two sponsored buses wich I have no clue how much that is and food for the drivers.
The other thing is toys, we need lots of them and last year we were short and purchased 20 dolls and some cases of small toy cars.
So, at this point 7,860 food
8,000 transportation
? Diesel
? Rosca de Reyes
? Aditional toys.
Received:
2 of $25
1 of $10
1 of $20
3 of $50
3 of $100
Not many toys.
