With the financial help of a Rotary District Grant, the La Jolla Golden Triangle Rotary Club completed a project in Valle de Guadalupe, Ensenada, B.C. on October 18, 2014.  The recipient was Casa de Paz, a children’s home for about 50 children ages 3 to 18, of whom 7-9 suffer from various degrees of developmental handicaps. 

The project to be completed was the painting of two dormitories and an outside stage used for presentations and plays for and by the children.  Since 2012, The Club, began supporting the children at Casa de Paz at current president Ron Kohl's suggestion. It was his dream back then to make this current project into a club project. We are happy to see that this goal has been achieved.

Because of the strong support of the La Jolla Golden Triangle Rotary Club, Ensenada Riviera Rotary Club, The USD Rotaract, The UCSD Rotaract, Ensenada Exchange students, spouses and guests, a total of 75 volunteers made this project a success.  During the event, it was an inspiration to see the Rotaract students and children of Rotarians playing with the Casa de Paz children. 

A donation of stuffed toys was brought to the children by the volunteers  There were enough for each child to receive one. The joy on their faces was overwhelming.
