There's the one with the nice beaches and upscale
restaurants. But there's another Cabo—on The Other
Side of Cabo—where physical, psychological and
spiritual poverty exists.
Yes, the physical poverty is evidenced by the pallet
homes and sewage running down the dirt neighborhood streets. But there's the other poverty, often not seen with human eyes, where hopelessness exists.
It is at this intersection between the physical, psychological and spiritual that we seek to provide hope for the future of 50 children and their families on...

30.1% of the total population of Los Cabos, aged 15 and over, have a High School Degree, giving them the skills and knowledge to pursue a successful career and break the cycle of poverty. We are committed to providing educational opportunities and resources to those who need it most, helping them to gain the skills and knowledge necessary to achieve their full potential and break the cycle of poverty. Your support will help us further our mission to empower individuals and families with the educational resources they need to succeed.

Back-to-school supplies
Back-to-school supplies
Each summer we provide our 50 children with back-to-school supplies. We seek sponsors for each of our 50 backpacks filled with school supplies (uniforms, paper and pens).
Yound Adults
Yound Adults
Each fall we seek to meet the needs of our young adults of high school age— school uniforms, safety from gangs, transportation, and loss of a household income. Finishing high school and learning English means a probable escape from poverty.
Christmas gifts
Christmas gifts
We hold a Christmas party each December to bring a little hope and happiness to the lives of our 50 children. We supply a set of clothes, shoes and a toy. This party also becomes a place to begin our commitment with each child which last through the end of high school (and beyond, we hope). We seek a sponsor for each of our 50 children.

There are a lot of physical and spiritual needs in Cabo. Most local people are paid about $5 per day, with expenses similar to what we experience here. Our goal with our 501c3 ("The Other Side of Cabo") is to help poor kids graduate from high school and/or learn English; either will help them find work that pulls them up to jobs that pay more in this tourist town.
Imagine your organization spending a week or two in Cabo...Yes, time for volunteers to enjoy the beach and tourist activities, but also meeting the physical and spiritual needs of the residents (as detailed on our website)—bringing clothing we have to Mexico for children and families (two free suitcases via Southwest Airlines); or home improvements (laying concrete blocks, etc.); or hanging with the kids and their families; using our home as a free place to stay in Cabo.
