We'll be serving with Esperanza International (www.esperanzaint.org) in developing and supporting communities by helping with different housing projects. We'll be working side by side with members of the community as well as the families whose homes we're helping to build. Through the humbling experience of working on someone's home together with various activities and interactions with the community, we're able to develop a deeper and lasting understanding of life in this part of Mexico and what it truly means to serve those in need beyond borders.

Tijuana Culture


Today was quite exciting!  Although we did not build houses or lay foundations, we still had a fully packed day. We started the day with mass at the local church, which was down the road from the posada. Even though some of the Trekkers were unable to understand the Spanish, it was still fun experiencing a Spanish mass in Mexico! Later in the day, we travelled to puerto nueva (Newport) which is the Mexican equivalent of pike place market. We had a delightful time bartering for goods and tasting authentic Mexican cuisine while appreciating the beautiful pacific coast. Unfortunately, the tourist part of our journey has come to an end, but we are all excited to get to work in the morning!
