Mexico

Vicente Guerrero is a rural agricultural town located four and a half hours south of San Diego, along the Pacific shoreline. In this community are many impoverished migrant workers, mostly from the southern Mexican state of Oaxaca (pronounced Wuhawka). Income is very sporadic and it is extremely difficult for these families to find any sense of financial stability. They often lack access to clean water, a stable food supply, and adequate housing (most homes are constructed of tin, cardboard, and tarpaulins). Our projects in Mexico are primarily house builds for families in desperate need. We have also helped to build two schools, a women’s co-operative (allowing them to provide for their families with dignity and to give back to the community), a mMexico Mapedical clinic and other various community projects.

While joining us on Hero Holiday, you will also have the opportunity to experience some great adventures such as climbing an old volcano, clamming on the beach and getting rich on sand dollars, and ocean sports (which are available in the warmer months).
