Feeding Los Cabos Kids
Is there any better way to spend a day in Cabo than sunning on its glorious beaches? It might surprise you to learn that my answer is YES; spending time volunteering for Feeding Los Cabos Kids!
This amazing foundation was started in 2004 and works to feed the local children in the colonias (neighborhoods). They have partnered with local churches and pastors to build kitchens in the neighborhoods where families can come for a meal.
In our condominium complex in San Jose del Cabo, there is a group that volunteers to take and serve meals to the kitchens. So last week, instead of hitting the beaches with a good book, I volunteered to help. This is the second time I have made a trip to a local kitchen, and it was just as rewarding as the first. After prepping 100 hotdogs, we packed up and headed out to the kitchens with our coolers of goodies for the families. The kindhearted people I went with also ensured that we had stickers and candy for the children. For a while, I was the most popular person in the place as I was serving sandía (watermelon), which is always a big hit.
As a former teacher, I still miss working with kids and I admit that this gives me a good “kid fix”. But it also makes me so happy that the complex where we live has set a precedent of helping the local community.
