Aaron, I would like to donate my commissions from my Scentsy page. I will set up a party for folks to shop, in the US, Mexico and Canada, and Scentsy
will deliver right to the purchasers doorstep in those countries. I will then send you the donation amount via paypal. Would that be helpful? If so,
I'll post the party links here so our fellow nomads can shop as well.
If you are unfamiliar with Scentsy, please look here ~ https://michellevangurp.scentsy.us ~ for Canada and Mexico, just click the American Flag to choose a different country and language

Just bumping this and hope that a few more will contribute to this great program. Besides money, they also take other donations for the kids or
equipment for the on going program.

Hola Nomads,
Lifeguard Update: I want to say thanks to all that have donated - Nomads and fishers from Bloody Decks and Senor Tuna. Muchisimas Gracias.
We have raised $940 of the $1,500-2,000 fundraising target. We still have a ways to go. If you have not donated and can, please do so. All of the
funds will be used to transport, feed, and house the volunteer lifeguards, any money left over from these costs will be used to purchase lifeguard and
first aid equipment for Asuncion.
The volunteer roster has varied a bit but is holding steady at 22 lifeguards in six vehicles. These volunteers have been working hard in securing
used lifeguard equipment such as rescue bouys and rescue boards. Also, we just received a donation of Junior Lifeguard uniforms from a California
based lifeguard agency. The kids are going to be stoked.
Also, San Diego based surfing school Surf Diva will be donating used soft-top surfboards, wetsuits and rashguards to kids in Asuncion. A big abrazo to
Izzy at Surf Diva.
Thanks for all your support and interest in this year's lifeguard training program.
Saludos
Aaron

Hola Shari,
Fantastic! Great to know that you are willing to house some lifeguards. Last year we were a few beds short. Thanks so much Shari.

Hola Bajanomads,
Lifeguard trip update.
The donation total is holding at $940. A great achievement thanks to the generous contributions of folks on this site, Bloody Decks, and friendsof
Stan's (RIP). If you can, please donate to our effort. Donations can be made via paypal at the ISLA website (501-c-3 all volunteer non-profit
organization).
www.islasurf.org
The number of lifeguards going has dropped from 22 to 17. Still a great crew and enough guards to safely run a program involving so many people and
munchkins. The total number of folks participating from the community will be around 100. Everyone is looking forward to the program and we can
hardly wait until Oct. 8 to head south.
Next post from me will be a trip report and accounting for everyone here (unless someone asks me a question or would like more info here).
Gracias to everyone involved in helping make this valuable program happen in Bahia Asuncion. I hope to expand to other coastal communities in the
future.
Peace,
Aaron

Hola Nomads,
Wanted to say thanks to all who donated and viewed this thread.
I also want to thank Katy Fallon of Imperial Beach. She is the owner of Katy's Cafe (704 Seacoast Drive in IB). She is going to donate coffee and
breakfast to the lifeguard group the morning of our departure. If you are in IB stop in and say hi: great coffee & food and cool surf art on the
walls.
www.KatysCafeIB.com
Peace
Aaron
ps. I know I said last post until trip report but wanted to thank another great community contribution to our effort to save lives in Baja. You can
still donate...

From communication with friends in Bahia Asuncion and from all the photos on their facebook pages, it looks like the program was once again, a real
success and they are already looking forward to another clinic next year; they hope. We also hope it will happen again and again and again. They say
they learned a lot and really thank all of you for EVERYTHING.
Well, that is what the locals tell us, so we are really looking forward to hearing from you as to how you think it all went.
Diana y John

Hola Nomads,
Micro update for now, full update soon.
I again want to everyone involved in making this year's program happen. We pushed the advanced group much harder than last year and we had 9 people
certify under ISLA Basic Open Water Rescue standard. Great step forward!
The kids were again really enthusiastic in all the beach games they played(the "games" are really ocean skill builders). Don't tell them.
The town/hosts left us all amazed at the level of hospitality we received. Next we are going to try to organize a CPR training course for comunity
members (serious side) and have a friendly game of beisbol - salvavidas vs BA. We are also working on locating an AED.
Also, I would like give credit to our gran amigo Stan (RIP) who was one of the key figures in making this happen. There is currently an effort being
made to place a fitting marker/headstone on his grave in BA. Shari is leading the effort - I quickly found this BN post:

thank you Aaron and your group for all you have done for the village and thanks to all who helped sponsor them....events like this really contribute
to the growth, evolution and education of the local kids which will lead to saving lives and greater awareness of the ocean and ecology.
