Dear Traveler,
Because we care and are sure that you do too, we invite you to make much more of your vacations at Copper Canyon by caring and giving a little bit of hope to the remote Tarahumara Indian children of the Sierra Madre. Be part of this humanitarian project; see the smile on the face of the children when they receive your contribution - directly from you.

You can do so much by bringing supplies to contribute to their education and health care. Simple things such as notebooks, basic books, pens and pencils, warm clothes, blankets, shoes, medication for colds, fever and stomach aches. Used clothing and blankets in good condition are also acceptable.

The Tarahumara families bring their children to boarding schools located in areas often far from their homes. Most children have to live in those facilities and stay because of the distances. They often go home only on holidays and summer vacations. These families have no way to pay for their children's education. Some of them still live in caves and have no electricity or running water.

Institutions such as The Tewecado School must rely on the support of individuals and organizations to continue their life-affirming work. You can help the nuns make the world a better place for one more Tarahumara child by sending your donation or bringing it with you.

You may read a copy of the 'Thank You' letter from Mother Superior to Sam's Club upon grateful receipt of their generious donation. (pdf file)

 

Contribute if you can,
it means so much to the children.
You can also sponsor a child
for as little as one dollar per day.
