Thank you, thank you, thank you, once again we did it, 8 consecutive years with this toy drive.
They have all been very different, from the smallest one with 112 children to last years with over 1,200 children, they all have many challanges but in the end it it so, so worth it to see the smiles on these childrens faces. This year we had 254 children.
Here are some pictures of the event and a video is beeing edited for us by a very nice gentelman that came with us just for that purpose, so stay tuned.
Fernando y familia

Fernando looks like they all had a great time. You do a great job putting this on and our church feeds & gifts about 80 adults and 45 kids which takes a lot time but nothing close to what you are doing. So, having experienced it with a much smaller group than yours, I think I know how much energy you have to keep up to complete this task but the smiling laughing kids along with their parents makes it all worth while amigo. You are Blessed for your efforts and caring. You along with all the Nomads that pitched in bring blessing to others that have so little. These gestures will be remembered their whole lives.

Thank you Bajafun.
And DavidK, thanks but it's about all the BajaNomads that make this event possible, I'm just the vehicle to get the toys to the kids and distribute them in your name. I invite you to join us for one of these toy drives and you will see how, even thou I have the microphone or am the one doing the talking, no one there (exept maybe a handfull of adults) even knows my first name, ohh but they do, all, know that the gifts and food and entertainment are from the Baja Nomads, for that is the name we go by and the only aplauses given at any time during the event go to the Baja Nomads.
Saludos
Fernando
