Donations for Door of Faith Orphanage in Mexico
One of the Student Council's service projects this year is to help Door of Faith Orphanage gather supplies for orphaned children and communities in need. Door of Faith Orphanage is located in La Mision, Baja California, Mexico. For over 50 years Door of Faith has served orphaned children and the poorer communities in that area. They are one of the largest orphanages in Baja. They are supported by community organizations and churches from the US. They can use our help to get more supplies for the orphanage. Please donate DIAPERS and LAUNDRY DETERGENT from January 14 to February 7. Bring your donations to the bins provided by the front office and by the ESS building.
