Estamos muy contentos de compartirles que el próximo Sábado 26 de Octubre haremos una tercera visita a nuestros amigos del albergue Misión Evangélica Roca de Salvación y también por segunda ocasión a Casa Hogar El Puente.
En nuestra última visita a el albergue Misión Evangélica Roca de Salvación nos percatamos de la urgente necesidad que tiene de instalar 10 nuevas ventanas, ya que dicho albergue hospeda a más de 30 niños y alrededor de 30 adultos. El otoño ya ha comenzado y las temperaturas comienzan a bajar y la época de lluvias se acerca, esto da pie a que los niños se puedan resfriar si no están bien resguardados.
Es indispensable el apoyo de todos ustedes, por lo cual hemos lanzado una iniciativa “ Adopta una Ventana”. El costo de cada ventana ya instalada es de $125 USD con mosquitero. Tu puedes adoptar una ventana que protegerá a tantos niños que esperan en el albergue. Es sumamente urgente cambiar estas ventanas ya que hay varias ventanas rotas y otras que ni siquiera cuentan con ventanas y únicamente están cubiertas por una sábana o cobija. ¡¡Tu apoyo financiero y muy importante!!

Además estamos solicitando para ambos albergues lo siguiente:
Artículos escolares,Libretas, plumas, lápices, gomas, colores,Libros, Cuentos en español, material didáctico, libros en ingles con imágenes, etc.
Artículos de higiene personal: Jabón, shampoo, desodorante, Toallas sanitarias, etc.

Contamos con ustedes?

The post Launching the initiative “Adopt a window” and third visit to Tijuana! appeared first on ONE Children's Foundation.

We made a brief stop in Costco, to buy some delicious pizzas (who doesn’t love pizza?) to share with the children and their families And make other purchases of snacks, cookies and personal hygiene items to give to children and families.
Lourdes from Families Belong Together, was waiting for us to kindly guide us to the shelter as she always does.

When we arrived at Roca de Salvación, we were pleasantly surprised that for the time being the children were already performing other activities with Border Angels who were visiting along with Joe Murphy and Joe Robertson from Good Chance Theater from the UK. It was a pleasure to greet them and spend some time with them as well.

We are happy to have been able to contribute and bring donations of books for the children to continue learning, clothes and backpacks, paintings, canvas, brushes and other supplies. The children had a fun, creative and artistic afternoon, they painted beautiful artworks with watercolors, and some of them painted their flags, remembering their home countries. Also volunteers in collaboration with FBTMX read stories to the children while they ate their pizza. This is a project called “El Rincon del Cuento/The corner of the story” and we’re glad we contributed with books to create this space.

We thank Actors for a Cause, Jordi and Montse for the support of this trip and donations.

If you would like to contribute and join us on our next visit, send us a message to know more details.
Every cent counts!

The post Join us next Thrusday October 3rd to deliver donations to Shelter Misión Evangélica Roca de Salvación appeared first on ONE Children's Foundation.

This effort was coordinated by the wonderful team of Families Belong Together Mexico lead by Soraya Vázquez, Lourdes Medrano and Othir Santistevan.
The shelters that we were able to contribute to were Misión Evangélica Roca de Salvación, Volviendo a la Patria and El Puente, and the managers in charge of the shelters: Pastor Salvador Zepeda, Ramón Raúl López Hernández and Maicol Gómez respectively, picked up the mattresses at the warehouse of FBT Mexico.
After the shelters picked up the mattresses, they headed to Casa Hogar El Puente, which is a refuge driven by Central American migrants and for migrants with the desire to support women and children who are the most vulnerable.
They visited the Misión Evangélica Roca de Salvación the second time, where they were already installing the mattresses to give that same night a better rest for more migrant families.

Claudia and Montse together with the FBT Mexico team, finished their activities with a late lunch while planning the next visit to Tijuana as they were very moved by the urgent need that exists on the other side of the southern border and that ONE wishes to be present and contribute as much as possible.

Con mucho gusto les compartimos que esta semana Claudia Pinto, directora de ONE Children’s Foundation acompañada de Montse Blanco, colaboradora de ONE, viajaron a Tijuana a hacer entrega de un donativo de colchones a albergues que reciben a imigrantes con tanto cariño y dedicación a migrantes en la frontera.
Esta donación fue posible gracias a la generosa contribución de María de Luna, miembro de la junta directiva de ONE y a Fernando de Luna de FDS Luxury Auto, les agradecemos de todo corazón su increíble apoyo.
Esta labor fue coordinada por el maravilloso equipo de Families Belong Together México conformado por Soraya Vázquez, Lourdes Medrano y Othir Santistevan.
Los albergues a los cuales pudimos dar apoyo fueron Misión Evangélica Roca de Salvación, Volviendo a la Patria y El Puente y los encargados de los albergues: Pastor Salvador Zepeda, Ramón Raúl López Hernández y Maicol Gómez respectivamente, fueron a recibir los colchones a la bodega de FBT México.
Después de la entrega de los colchones, se trasladaron a Casa Hogar El Puente, el cual es un refugio impulsado por migrantes centroamericanos y para migrantes con el deseo de apoyar a mujeres y niños los cuales son los más vulnerables.
Visitaron por segunda ocasión a Misión Evangélica Roca de Salvación donde ya se encontraban instalando los colchones para poder dar esa misma noche un mejor descanso a más familias migrantes.
Claudia y Montse junto con el equipo de FBT México, cerraron actividades con una merienda mientras planeaban la próxima visita a Tijuana ya que quedaron muy conmovidas por la urgente necesidad que existe al otro lado de la frontera sur y que ONE desea estar presente y apoyar en la medida de lo posible.
