Join Santa, Dec 24th 1pm @ Door of Faith Orphanage, to give presents to 113 kids!
A Christmas Bag for each child. There are 122 children that live at this orphanage in La Mision. We are collecting little toys, personal hygiene items
and anything worth putting in a grocery bag size gift for the kids. There is a Christmas box at "SPLASH" K52 Baja Norte. Please help us fill this box
so every child has a home made Christmas Bag. The bags are being made by Mrs. Greenlee's 8th grade class in Escondido, CA.
This is the first time we have done this and the help is greatly appreciated. If you would like to get involved please contact me by U2U

Thanks Dennis. Just trying to do my part. The dollar store goes a long ways when trying to fill these bags. Even things from ones home would make nice
gifts. Shampoo, hair gel, anything that is new or nearly new.

This orphanage in La Mision....what the name of it? I just like to confirm before donating...sorry.
I am no where near Escondido or mark52. Is there a POBox in Ca to donate too?
I admire folks like you that gives a damn about the kids in Mexico. 5 Stars to you!
We with Jessica of the San Felipe Nursery hit the Edido each Xmas with the truck full of toys (yes...99 cent store is GREAT). Last year we passed out
300 pieces of good stuff.
Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.

I hope to take teams from my church this coming year to work in La Mision and with DoF.

cjesme, Recently saw an episode on Amimal Planet TV
Channel. It was about a Pit Bull Gog Rescue Group.
It was filmed in La Mision. During the show they
visited an Orphanage in La MIsion, I assume that
is the place you mentioned. The children in the film
at the Orphanage, definately appered
to be in a positive environment
Keep up the good work

Sancho, yes the kids are in a very positive environment. DJ and Robin and all the house moms work very hard to make it a family. The kids actually go
into the town of La Mision to help feed the poor people. They go to church and are driven to public schools. I have spent time with the kids and they
ooze of love. I feel blessed that I found this place. It puts everything into perspective!

Years ago, we would take the "old road" to Ensenada and turn inland at La Mision. You know, go under that underpass where there used to be a squished
VW there for years to remind you to watch the curve. There is a huge valley/flood plain, similar to the San Diego River in SD, and after turning off
on a dirt road before heading up the hill, used to donate items to an orphanage a few miles out on the left (north) side of the valley. Is this the
one everyone is talking about?

Yes, This is the orphanage after the bridge/river in La Mision. Coming from Esenada you would turn right onto the dirt road and go about 1.5miles. The
big arch is the entrance. These kids are very well cared for. They just need a lot of love! Especially the toddlers and infants. The babies need you
to play with them, hold them and nurture them!
