Several times a year, groups of Build A
Miracle volunteers head to Mexico for the
day to help build new homes.
|
After walking across the US/Mexico border,
volunteers are transported to the day's build site.
|
Usually more than 100 people participate
during a build day.
|
Build sites are located in the suburbs of Tijuana.
|
These are family neighborhoods
and there has never been any concern
for the group's safety in the many years
of our trips across the Border.
|
There we meet up with dozens of local Build A
Miracle families and volunteers all ready to lend
a hand.
