It’s my pleasure to share an update on how your contributions are impacting life here at Casa Hogar in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, which is currently home to 24 full-time residents between the ages of 6 and 17.
Hooping It Up In An Indoor Gym
During a “rain day” school cancellation in September we brought all the residents to a new nearby facility, Cabo Basketball. This is our city´s first fully indoor basketball court with hardwood flooring. Coach Arki put our kids and staff through some drills followed by some scrimmage games.
Inline Hockey Continues
Ten of our residents participated in a local inline hockey tournament this fall. For some it was the opportunity to showcase their talent and progress and for others the chance to try something new. It was a lot of fun. Our Casa Hogar youth team managed to capture third place in their category.
Back to the Rancho
We wrapped up October in the best possible way with a field trip back to Rancho Ecologico, El Refugio. It’s about a two-hour bus ride but well worth the journey. There the kids and teens spent the day splashing in the water, exploring the canyon and eating homemade tacos. As is our tradition at this time of the year, we held a baptism service where 11 youths and 2 adults were baptized. It was a beautiful and heartwarming day.
Visit From a Local High School
We kicked off November with a lively visit from thirty students from a local high school. They spent Saturday morning playing soccer, doing art projects, sharing breakfast, dancing, and making music with our residents. The energy was contagious! It was a mutually enriching exchange that helped our kids connect with other young people in the community. Moments like these — full of belonging and fun — are possible thanks to your support.
Beach Outing
We wrapped up November with a joyful trip to La Empacadora Beach — a local favorite with deep Cabo history, once home to the community's first fish cannery. Our residents had a blast running in the sand, swimming in the calm water, and simply being kids. These simple moments of freedom and laughter are part of the high-quality care your support sustains.
