Baja Medic, John and Deb, THANK YOU!!! Your donation will keep the kids warm and upgrade the whole playground!!! New gravel so the kids won't be
walking around in mud. New sand so the kids can play and not get hurt. New paint so the paint chips on the picnic tables and swing set will look new
and we will still have money left over to buy food! I will be going to the Food Warehouse in Ensenada to spend what ever we have left. Thank You so
much! It sounds like your dad loved Baja as much as I do!! Pictures will follow, after our upgrade is finished!!! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!
Carlita and Esteban

Buena Vida Orphanage
Hello Nomad friends,
My name is Luis Fuentes and recently returned from visiting Buena Vida A. C. (Casa Hogar) or Buena Vida Orphanage.
Since I noticed several folks were able to contribute last winter I decided to ask about the recurring assistance being provided.
In any case, I was also hoping for some additional information on the Buena Vida Orphanage since they indeed need a lot of help and are in need of
basic food supplies, building materials and would like to setup recurring donations for each child -they currently have 29 children under their care.
One of them "Vicky" is turning 15 years old on April 21, 2012 and needs donations for her birthday celebration.
Please contact me at 310.987.8766 in case you want to make any donations. My church is also going to make a special collection to obtain cash for
basic foodstuffs and supplies. My intention is to provide direct assistance to Mercedes and Gabriel Diego, as they are currently administering this
orphanage.
May God bless you.
-Luis Fuentes
P. S. I attend Anza Baptist Church in Torrance, CA.

Hi my Nomad Friends,
It is that time of year again!!
I have found a small orphanage here in La Mision (Baja) that needs much help. There are 30 children that reside at the home.
I am looking to raise 30 blanket donations(new), 30 bed pillows(new) that I can wrap for each child.
I will have individual Christmas Bags made up for each child.
The Orphanage just had their electricity turned back on by a very giving American and it is very cold down here right now! This orphanage is soooo
sad.
It is called" Buena Vida Casa Hogar" it is located right here in La Mision. Anything you can do to spread the word would be wonderful!!
Any monetary donations that you can send will purchase the items we need.
We track "ALL" donations and receipts for you to see!
We will need time to purchase all items so we ask that the donations are received prior to Dec. 18th

Is this the place started by Gabriel Diego?
Gabe started out life in the valley and spent most of his younger years at the La Puerta de Fe orphanage.
He was also involved in one of the La Fonda restaurant and bars some time back.
This place was started, I hear, as an "old folks home" and is now an orphanage.
Same place?
Just wondering....

Buena Vida A. C. Orphanage
All,
It is important to know that this orphanage needs all the help they can get -it does not matter who is running it if they are following Jesus Christ
and Christian faith principles.
I hope you can help.
May God Bless You.

Some folks run orphanages for the benefit of the kids (Good!)
Some folks run orphanages to benefit themselves (Not Good!!)
I still would like to know which one started your place?
Cuz I have my suspicions....
Just wondering,

BUENA VIDA A. C. Orphanage Needs Help not Suspicion
Bajarunner et al,
What possible benefit do you get out of posting your suspicions -do you have any proof of anyone profiting from trying to provide help for these kids?
I know the answer to your question and chose not to disclose all the details of the management as a non profit organization because it is being
formalized in the U. S.
In the meantime, here is some information to help you decide to send a biweekly donation if you decide to help.
This orphanage is in dire need of help for the 29 children that are been fed three times a day and are being cared for by Mercedes, Gabriel, Eloisa,
Diego and others.
These folks are doing this out if charity and do not earn any income from any donation. Mercedes worked at another orphanage where she grew up and
met her husband and Eloisa takes care of 14 girls 5-to-15 years old and Diego Barajas takes care of 15 boys 4-to-12 years old.
The Anonymous Society (A. C.) in Mexico is the legal classification of a non profit organization -Gabriel and others (like me) are trying to file and
obtain all the IRS paperwork to officially make this a non profit organization recognized by the US government -in the meantime, food and supplies are
desperately needed and cannot wait.
Finally, it appears that you have a chip on your shoulder about Gabriel Diego; all I can tell you is that I've learned that each and everyone of these
kids were either abused, or suffered hunger living out on the streets or were removed from their parents due to legal problems with one parent or
another -some do not have one or both parents, just like Gabriel Diego -he grew up in an orphanage and now runs this one as a Christian mission.
So if you like to help, please contact Clara, myself or anyone willing to work for these needy kids and avoid using this as a platform to display your
un-founded concerns.
I can be reached by phone if you like more details vis-a-vis my three (3) day trip to the orphanage.
May God Bless all helpers and cheerful givers.

Dear Baja Nomad Friends,
During the upcoming days I will be delivering items donated by the Anza Baptist Church to the 29 children at the Buena Vida Orphanage. My hope is to
pray with these kids and to teach them the history of the birth of Jesus Christ and to worship God, sing, dance and celebrate Christmas.
Thank you for all your support in helping the kids enjoy Christmas as a true celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ. Also, I will be delivering
toys donated by the Cheers for Children organization and items from Corazon de Vida.
Thank you God Almighty for making this possible and for allowing others and me to worship and celebrate and honor Your name.
May God Bless You!
