Hi Fernando,

I left a big roll of wrapping paper at Baja Bound along with gifts on 12/10. May not have reached you yet, just wanted to let you know some wrap should be to you soon.
Thanks,

Scot

Thank you so much Ford.
Could you please, if it's not to late, take a picture of the toys and email it to me at fernando@vivabajacalifornia.com so we can include them on the list we are making for mexican customs to see if we can bring them all at one time.
Saludos,
Fernando

Thanks, got the email Ford. You can send the clothes also if it's not to late. There are always kids that can use them, the reason for not asking for clothes is because some people in the past sent used clothes.
Saludos y gracias,
Fernando

I bet you are all busy wrapping right now! Can't wait to see the pics of this year's event and sure hope that one year I can physically be there to help out.

Get busy elves!

Update;
We are 3 days from the event and we request that you send NO MORE toys, we have about 400 already and whatever we are missing we will purchase. This because it looks like (not positive yet) we will be able to get them all across in one trip, this possibly with the help of a friend of a friend of a friend that knows a friend that might know of someone who can probably get us the permit for all the toys.
Worst case, the contrabando hormiga will have to do. I will be taking days off from work to accomplish this so it should be ok, we have several hormigas that can help.

So with all that said we are now accepting donations via Paypal only and this is to cover for all the expenses.

The Paypal is fernando@vivabajacalifornia.com

Saludos y gracias,
Fernando

Who will be joining us on Sunday?
I know of a few of you but, please, come on, join us and experience first hand what this event is all about. Come and join us and get to see first hand were your toys and donations go. It is a fascinating experience to see the faces of those children that, if not for you all would not have had a gift during this holiday season.
The meeting place is the same as every year, the (old) tourist bus terminal on Avenida Revolucion between 6th and 7th streets at 9:30am.

Enjoy a day with us, we will be your hosts of a beautiful Baja Experience.

Don't know but this experience could be up there right next to kissing a whale in San Ignacio lagoon, Indescribable and Unforgettable.
