As families throughout Mexico and Central America move northward in search of an escape from poverty, some children - many of them boys - are abandoned by their families. Other children are removed from their homes by Mexican government officials for their own safety. Finally, there are children who are truly orphaned: both of their parents are deceased.
Although some separations between children and parents are temporary, some are permanent. Regardless, many Hispanic and Latino children are in need of shelter.
Organized nearly twenty years ago, the Rancho San Juan Bosco (RSJB) orphanage sits on approximately three acres of land on the western edge of Tecate, Mexico. (Tecate is located on the U.S./Mexico border.) RSJB was established for boys only and at this time can accommodate up to forty children ranging from ages four to seventeen. Expansion plans are underway to increase their capacity to around eighty children including infants.
There is no shortage of things to be done and it's also a beautiful country to visit. Ed Moriarity is our ministry team leader and is no stranger to Rancho San Juan Bosco. He has been committed to this orphanage for years and has visited it on many occasions. Please contact him if you or your group are interested in a mission trip to Tecate, Mexico.
