The Rotary Club of Tehachapi has helped support a home for needy children in Tijuana, Mexico, for the last several years as our International Service Project.
During our visits south of the border we've been joined by Rotarians from the China Lake Rotary Club and the Bakersfield Breakfast Rotary Club. Together, we provide essential needs for the home, Ninos de la Promesa.
Among our contributions to the home were a new washer and dryer (they do nearly 100 loads of laundry daily), new go-to-school backpacks for all the kids and regular cartloads of groceries and kitchen supplies. It’s rewarding to be there and to see the immediate results of our service. The kids and home managers are always so pleased and thankful for our visits. Most of the kids have come from the red light district of Tijuana, where they have been seriously neglected and sometimes abandoned to fend for themselves. Ninos de la Promesa provides a clean, safe environment for them and ensures they attend school and church activities. Giving to these kids not only improves their lives but improves the lives of us who help them out.
