Los Niños Project
In 1994 Donna Webb presented a program at one of our chapter’s dinner meetings explaining a volunteer experience in the Tijuana, Mexico area that was through a non-profit organization, “Los Niños,” meaning “The Children.” As a result of Donna’s presentation, our chapter subsequently elected to become involved in the program for several years by supporting it financially and by sending several groups of workers down to Los Niños to help build schools, lay concrete, and construct terraces to landscape the schoolyards. From 1996 to 2006 we sent work groups down to Mexico every other year.
