When the Kids Smile

Have you ever noticed when kids smile, you just have to smile back?  It's true.  And the smiles that grace the faces of the kids at Casa Hugar are no exception!

Welcome to Casa Hugar's Celebration!

 This home for kids in Mulege is special indeed.  Casa Hogar is a place where kids are cared for and live, either during the school week or in some cases, the entire week.  Our beach community has embraced this incredible "mission" to help kids who need support by helping to fix up the living quarters and raising money for food and care.  Before Christmas we had a beach fun day for the kids and there will be another one on Feburary 7th.  (more details about the work done at www.poodleinapod.blogspot.com)

This day in January was a celebration of one year of operation for the facility and we are invited to come for a full Mexican meal provided by many kitchens in Mulege, a raffle and silent auction.  This turns into a great fundraiser!

Laura thanks everyone for their support

Over 100 people from both the gringo community and the local community come together to celebrate. We are happy to buy tickets for the event.  The woman in the center is the house mother who takes care of 13 children!  Oh, and she has a tortilla chip making business too!  And she's a teacher...of course.

To learn more about this important endeavor check out the Facebook Page that one of our beach friends created.
