Hilltop High School

Baja Gifts Program

The Hilltop group brought down a ton of gifts. It consisted of toys, hygiene care products, clothing, school supplies and sports equipment. The recipients were very happy to receive such thoughtful gifts.

The Gifts

Stuffed animals.

Game cards and yo yo's.

Toothbrushes and toothpaste.

Baseball bat gloves and balls.

Skipping ropes and frisbees.

A huge assortment of school supplies.

28 gifts bags were assembled.

The first community to be visited was Ensenada de Cortez.
Community members greeted us as we arrived.

Earlier in the season a group had brought a glove and ball to donate and
it was given to the younger brother of the young man in this picture. He was
very disappointed that his younger brother received the gift but said nothing.
I had seen the look on his face and realized we should have given the ball
and glove to the older brother. So I phoned Randy (the teacher of this group)
and asked him if he could ask the students if anyone had a bat, ball and
glove kicking around that they would like to donate and this is how this
young man received the gifts in the picture. Thanks Jenna and Randy!

As we left the community members walked
us to the pangas and waved goodbye as we left.

The next community visited was Palmo Solo.

The kids anxiously awaited our arrival.

Streater gives this beautiful young girl her gift bag.

Jenna gives hers.

Melissa gives hers.

Kelly gives hers.

Fabbie gives hers.

We had enough gifts bags left over that the group was
kind enough to give the crew gift bags for their children as well.

From my heart, and the hearts of the recipients of your gifts, I would like to thank the Hilltop group for your thoughtfulness in participating in the Baja Gifts Program and the generosity in the tremendous number of gifts you brought down. We are all very touched by your kindness!
