Review for Corazon de Vida Foundation, Irvine, CA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

Corazon De Vida is a special organization that I hold very close to my heart. I have been volunteering the CDV since I was in college and have loved every minute of it. CDV is committed to their mission and encouraging of volunteers from all walks of life. Their staff is responsive and kind and the organization has done wonders for the children of Baja.

I was able to get involved as a volunteer in a way that created one of the greatest experiences of my life- I was able to help organize a function that gave back more than $5,000 to CDV. I will continue to volunteer with CDV as the inspire me and encourage me. I am proud to be a volunteer with CDV.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

When I started going down to Mexico on orphanage trips it helped me put life into perspective and give back in a way I never had before in my life. Soon after I started making regular trips I met a dear friend that lived in one of the orphanages. We became very close and I was able to start creating a "pen pal" type relationship with her that has been such an enriching life experience. I have truly met a special young lady down there that provides me with an honest and true friendship

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
