La Clinica de los Niños

This Thursday is the yearly volunteer trip with Shyann Kindness Project to Nogales, Arizona for La Clinica de los Niños.

Both organizations do amazing things to help children. However the Clinica at St Andrew's in Nogalas is truly exceptional!
They help special needs children from Mexico get the care they normally can't afford. It's all volunteer run, so the doctors and nurses are all volunteering to help these children just out of the kindness of their heart. Is amazing how many people come these clinics and how many children are helped. Families come throughout Mexico to Nogalas and walk over with day passes. Then they are bused from the border by St. Andrew's to the Clinica. I believes these clinics actually happen every Thursday.
Once a year my work partners with the Shyann Kindness Project and goes as a group to the Clinic. They brings coffee and food along with toys/books/art supplies/etc for the kids. It such a meaningful experience to be a part of, and I always leave in awe of the kindness that people give to others.
My work is also able to donate $10 for every volunteer hour. (I guess there are so nice things about corporations?) That means if 30 people come and volunteer for 4 hours that $1200 is donated. Pretty cool.

If anyone wants to come, I'm pretty sure this is an open event.
Or if you want to volunteer with St. Andrew's they are always looking for help.
Or... if you can't make it but still want to help, this year we are cooking all the pastries ourselves.
If you bake something I will pick it up!
