Be someone’s Santa Claus!
Join our Australian Ambassador Kelly Pantaleoni on her Christmas Project to fund-raise toys, supplies, equipment and school funds for the children and families who are living in poverty in Tijuana!
This campaign is aimed to help the children and families that are living in poverty in the Tijuana dump so they can enjoy a happy holiday by providing them toys and a warm meal on Christmas eve, as well as opportunities to attend school by granting scholarships and covering tuition costs.
We are accepting brand new toys so the children can have gifts for Christmas, and monetary donations for scholarships so they can attend school and break the cycle of poverty by getting an education.
We also accept supplies or equipment donations, such as:
- Monthly Sponsors
- COSTCO gift cards
- Non-perishable food and canned goods (beans, rice, pasta, canned fruits and vegetables)
- Toiletries: Toilet paper, feminine items, tooth brushes/toothpaste, new towels
- School supplies and back-packs
- Uniforms for students (NEW: white polo shirts, black flat shoes, red/black V-neck sweaters, navy blue Dickies)
- Spanish books
- Tools and building materials (paint, shovels, power tools)
- Cleaning supplies: Pinesol, Clorox, laundry detergent
- Board games and activities for teens
- Sports equipment such as soccer balls, volleyballs, nets, bacci ball set, medicine balls, mats…
We will be collecting the donations in person before December 7th. For toys/supplies/equipment donations, please contact Kelly Pantaleoni at kellypantaleoni@sawabonaassociation.com.
Monetary donations can be made online at http://vidaoutreach.org/donate/ before December 20th.
