Welcome to the Comunidad blog
Comunidad is a group of volunteers based in northern California who work with the indigenous tribes (Kumeyaay, Paipai, Cucapah and Kiliwa) of northern Mexico to improve their health, education and infrastructure.
We have a simple mission: work with the Nativos to identify their needs; provide programs and resources (human and financial) to meet these needs; give them the training and resources to provide for themselves in the future; then move on to help the next tribe.
We've made quite an impact in our first six years of operation, whether it's conducting health fairs and dental clinics, creating potable water and sanitation systems, or funding the education for Nativo kids whose only other alternative is the fields or factories.
We accomplish most of this through 4-day trips down to the Baja region (usually flying down in one of our small planes). To learn more about how to get involved-or to join us on one of our trips-contact me @ thogan@bajacomunidad.org or at 408-355-0108.
