My Nonprofit Reviews

I discovered Corazon de Vida about 4 years ago while participating in a seminar project. I wanted to experience and contribute to Tijuana orphanages in a fun & safe way- CDV is it !!!

The first step for me was to go on an organized bus trip to one of the homes that CDV sponsors- there are about 15 located throughout Baja California & Tijuana.

The home that captured my heart is Hacienda. It is run by Madre Virginia- who reminds me of Mother Theresa. The kids are smiling and happy. We spent the day with the kids, playing with them in the big playground, having lunch with them and reading to them and helping them with artwork projects and drawings.

I will always remember one day in particular. I was sitting with a young girl who was drawing on a napkin. She took crayons and was drawing lots of hearts and flowers. When she was finished- she handed me the napkin as a gift. I was so moved that I almost started crying. Here was a girl who was so generous and loving in spite of her circumstances- I was so inspired that I wanted to do more.

We are child sponsors and I am in the initial phase of creating a Card Project with CDV. My goal is to create artwork with the Kids for cards and calendars for fundraising for this dedicated and beautiful organization.
