💚A big thank you to the UCSD combined Society of Civil and Structural Engineers & Engineers without Borders who made their first volunteer trip with us since COVID. They worked HARD alongside the family and community pouring cement for the foundation of a home in Rosarito.

We are so grateful for our amazing volunteers, like Diana. Thank you for your support and honest review!

“I have come to Esperanza with my friends for 7 years now to build community through this organization and I can say without a doubt it completes its mission as evident in my heart and in my life. The Esperanza staff, and most particularly, Eduardo, Roberto, and Lorenzo invest so much not only in the quality of the work but in the relationships formed that feel so much like family. The bonds that span across borders, differences, languages, and cultures speaks so clearly of the one human family. My values and priorities will always reflect the expression that is Esperanza.”

Our sincere condolences to Señora Lourdes for her loss. It is with a heavy heart that we share her son Ernesto passed away on May 10th. It was an honor to build their special circumstance home last year. We will always keep him close to our hearts.

Con una gran tristeza nos unimos a la lamentable pérdida de Ernesto.

Descanse en paz.

Spotlight on our values: TRUST! How have you witnessed trust when volunteering with us?

We hold as a core value of our organization the belief that personal relationships are built on trust. This trust is vital to our work. Trust, in all levels of the organization, enables us to have open dialogue to address inequalities and work towards a better world. Trust enables us to become partners with those with whom we serve.

Mantenemos como valor fundamental de nuestra organización la creencia de que las relaciones personales se basan en la confianza. Esta confianza es vital para nuestro trabajo. La confianza, en todos los niveles de la organización, nos permite tener un diálogo abierto para abordar las desigualdades y trabajar por un mundo mejor. La confianza nos permite convertirnos en socios de aquellos a quienes servimos.

We wanted to also give a shoutout to their group leader Tom Hoegel who has been leading groups for over 40 years with us! It’s always a pleasure to see returning faces and friends over the years. Thank you so much amigos! Until next time!💚🇲🇽

Help us give back to the animals who bring us so much joy 🐾💛
You all have met so many incredible dogs and cats in the communities we serve. Now, we want to support them too. We’re building a pet clinic this summer with the support of amazing volunteers from OSU, and you can be part of it! Check out our wishlist and donate if you can—every contribution makes a difference.
