Community Initiatives

We are only as strong as the community that we represent.

While we look for ways to support the community of Todos Santos year round, during the holidays it is especially impactful to honor the work being done by local organizations and to bring joy to those less fortunate. With the help of incredible students; both new to us, and with whom we’ve worked with for years as this is their second home, here’s where we are looking to make an impact.

Fundación Padrino Todos Santos provides healthcare in collaboration with medical professionals practicing locally and others across Mexico; they serve nearly 20% of the local pediatric population who qualify based on financial hardship.

Kilometro del Juguete for Melitón Albáñez: Sunday January 5th!

Each year, together with our teachers, students and other businesses in Todos Santos, Pescadero & Cerritos Beach, we organize a toy drive around the holidays to benefit the farming community of Melitón Albáñez.

To purchase, transport to Todos Santos, organize, wrap and deliver over 500 toys for the boys and girls from new born age to teens is a massive undertaking.

The first time they came I was 13, my first year in Baja away from grandparents. [I received] a ball and I was happy. They brought my little siblings gifts [too], it means so much to us! The following year  they came back with special gifts for everyone; I got a  fluffy pillow, a lipstick and jewelry. Muchas, muchas gracias, Dios se los pague! 

I love, love my soccer ball, I have scored many goals with it. Thank you, Three Wise men for sending gifts with these people all the way to my casita. 

Thank you to each and every person who makes its all possible!

Want to get involved? Here’s ways you can help this holiday season!

  • Collect toy donations to bring to Baja on your next trip.

  • Games that can be enjoyed with other kids, or educational and artistic supplies are wonderful gifts!

  • Get your circle of friends or neighborhood to organize a toy drive!

  • Message us in December to volunteer to separate, wrap, and deliver presents.

  • If you are away from Todos Santos, you can contribute from the comfort of your home by sending a donation.

Please message us with any questions about how to be part of this coming holiday season!

Donations are currently being collected at our school through Friday January 3rd!
