It'll have to be another day. Guitar is in Sauzal and I'm in Chula Vista. I'll be happy to see it put to good use. Playing an instrument can make a huge difference in a young life. I know from first hand edperience.

Do we have any idea of the #'s of kids in different age ranges at this point?

Thx.

If there is anything we can do to help with this event, Sauzal is not far from TJ and we are retired and so have lots of time on our hands. My wife, Merry, is somewhat limited in mobility most of he time, but would be willing to do what she can. She is also somewhat fluent in spanish. My own mobility should be much closer to normal in about a week. Let me know. u2u works or ejw1047@aol.com :)

Thank you Retireded. Well, the way to help the most is by donating toys, next to that, by joining us on january 19th for th toy drive. It's a unique experience. And maybe, with so many presents, we might have a wrapping party.
Thank you so much.
saludos
Fernando

A little over 7 years ago we were thinking maybe 20 to 30 children.
Wow, because of Baja Nomads this year it's at 1,500 children.
Thank you!

I think we should have a Baja Nomad wrapping party down in Tijuana. That way Ferna and his family do not have to spend a week wrapping all the gifts. A sizable crew of Nomads could get it done in a day and make this process a whole lot easier. Maybe the weekend of January 12th-13th? Who is in?
