Description
Buenas, thank you for visiting our site!
Who are we?
We are a Christian organization and registered in the USA as a non-profit organization since YR 2006.
which is empowering Indigenous Mexican children and adults through vocational training, general education and providing shelters for family’s and single moms.
Our facility is about 4 hectares, the indigenous families on our property is about 9~10 family (35 ~ 45 people).
The first generation of kids(yr2001~2012) is already young adults now and made their dream come true to become a pastor, nurse, teacher, business woman and man, farmer and so much more.
Now it is time to work together with the next generation (start yr 2015 ~ yr 2027).
As u can see I started this a long time ago.
I am originally from south Korea but moved to the US in
1974(Philadelphia ) move to Los Angeles(1990~2000) ,
then yr 2001 came to Mexico as a Christian missionary and never left again.
Since then our organization is growing with a lot of passion for education and awesome volunteers from all over the world.
What do we need?
