Corazon Build 2012
Tecate, Mexico
Just across the border from Tecate, California
Mammoth Lakes Rotarians, Mammoth High School Interact club, and friends...
...headed to El Cajon Friday...
...to join Corazon...
...for a Super Build...
...in Tecate, Mexico...
...Rotary District 5300 also participated...building two other houses...
(Mammoth Rotary built one house themselves...and in record time!!!)
...Corazon provides assistance and education to indigent families
in Tecate, Mexico...the families are expected to commit to a program of
self and community development that includes insuring that their children
go to school, the adults get job training as well as learning about
domestic violence and child abuse, and community responsibility...
....in return, they receive credits that can be applied to goods and services,
or a new home, with a lock and key...
...Volunteers end their day with the satisfaction of hard work,
and having provided a family with their new first home...
