Coordinating with Club Rotario Milenio Minarete and Club Rotario Tijuana Oeste (both based in Tijuana), RB Sunrise arrived bright and early at Sonrisa de Angeles Orphanage.
Their primary goal was to participate in an annual religious celebration called the Visit of the Three Kings. Yet with the idea of service above self firmly in mind, the five San Diegans also brought with them sweatshirts and shoes as presents for each of the children.
“The facility is located in a remote location on the periphery of Tijuana, and houses 25 children on a full-time basis,” explained project coordinator Paul Gorman. He also noted an additional 24 young children are left there to allow their single mothers to work.
Wanting to maximize the opportunity, the three Rotary clubs also coordinated similar donations for the children of nearby Ciudad de los Niños orphanage.

A total of $1,600 was raised from contributions by generous San Diegans to purchase the sweatshirts and shoes for these 78 children in need. Said Gorman appreciatively; “We could never do this without the help of the larger community, and look forward to being able to help even more children in the future.”
