In just one day, you can change a family’s life in the most profound way. You can give them shelter, security, and perhaps more importantly—you could give them hope. Corazon’s “Build a House in a Day” program takes a group of 40-50 dedicated volunteers into the marginalized communities of Tijuana and Tecate and builds an eligible family a home, all in just one day! Many families live in shacks and improvised shelters, often with no paved flooring. With your help, Corazon gives well deserving families a solid, substantial 16X20 foot home to shelter and protect their loved ones. This year we build one with an attached bathroom. Read More..

She showed us a short video describing how the children growing up in Equator have so many challenges and how this charity has helped so many. The Working Boys Center is a Catholic institution, committed to working boys and their families, founded with the objective of creating, developing and strengthening moral values by means of changes in attitudes and behavior, helped by programs of formation and social assistance.
