A Child's Hope Foundation had a great work project in Mexico this April. We were able to lay much of the cinder block for a new dormatory at Buena Vida Orphanage, we framed the interior walls of a multi-purpose building at Rancho El Faro Orphanage, we poured a sidewalk and painted a shed at Door of Faith Orphanage, and we were able to donate hundreds of dollars in cash and food to Casa de Paz Orphanage. We also had the opportunity to serve breakfast to needy children in Tijuana. Again, we had a great time and accomplished a lot.

Volunteers often ask, "What does a typical work day look like?" Well, we usually wake up at dawn and eat a quick breakfast. We then work at the various projects (construction for the most part) until lunch around 2pm. After lunch we visit various orphanages to bring them supplies and play with the kids. Then we go to the beach, go shopping, and do other touristy types of things. At night we gather around a camp fire, discuss the projects for the next day, share experiences and thoughts about service, and play games. We just have a great time!
