Volunteer - Orphanage in Mexico, Tijuana

Hello everyone, Long time no write!

This time I wanna tell you guys about my stories as a volunteer. There are a lot of fun things you can enjoy in the USA but If you look all around in a different view, you can find lots of rewarding volunteering you can help people. 

This is one of my stories that I volunteered for the orphanage in Tijuana, Mexico when I was in San Diego. My friend knew someone who organize "Unity 4 Orphans" group helping the orphanage in Tijuana, Mexico. As soon as I heard this volunteering from my friend, I told him to want to join this volunteering right away! I love kids and I could also teach English(But, I am also still learning), talk with them and share something with them. It was one of my memorable experience in the USA.

I had never thought about crossing the border by walk to Mexico. Even I hadn't known I went there in Mexico. I heard Tijuana area is a dangerous area so my sponsor advisor suggested not to go there. But, I thought I would be okay because I was gonna go with many people from Rock church and as soon as we crossed the border, the school bus from the orphanage picked us up to get there. It sounded like I should take a risk but I really wanted to do:)

Cross the border to Mexico by walk

I had no idea before of crossing the border between the USA and Mexico by walk. It was the surprise to me and they didn't even check our passport. I heard they barely check someone's ID.

The border between the USA and Mexico!

There are many adorable kids and children there. I cannot still forget the first scene at the orphanage when I just got there. As soon as we opened the door and went inside the building, kids and children ran to us to welcome us! I couldn't help but hug them as much as I can so I couldn't take a picture of that scene.

We R studying now!

Their tradition for kids! Inside that pink one, lots of candies there:)

Adorable kids r praying before a lunch, another memorable scene to me.

I was so happy with my ability to play the piano could please them!  (Because I don't speak Spanish so I couldn't teach them  , English.

with my sis and baby. she came to volunteering with no makeup to keep the promise with me! 

Don't cry babe:)

If you have never done this kinda volunteering, I totally recommend doing! Actually, It doesn't matter whichever volunteering is. The most important thing is you spend time with them and feel something in your mind to share anything with them that could be one of your memorable stories in your life! To share with someone is the most important thing of our life. 

Despite just one day, It could be your unexchaneable moment to make your life different. 

On the way back to San Diego, we bought this churros which costs just a DOLLAR! Amazing price hehe:) Also so tasty! u should try it!

After my first visit to the orphanage in Mexico, I uploaded a few photos with kids on facebook. They are my friends in the same government program:) At first, I went there alone(I mean no korean friends) but at the second time, I brought them together to introduce this volunteering! I was so happy to go there altogether. It was so great time for me.

If you are looking for any activities, I strongly recommend this, girls and boys!
