Estado 29 (State 29)
|
90 children
Mexican minister Jose Acosta Zamora founded this home in August 1957 with five children who were orphans from the town of San Luis Rio Colorado in Sonora. Estado 29 was the first orphanage of San Antonio de las Minas, Ensenada, BC. In 1987, Pastor Acosta became very ill and thus he gave the direction of the orphanage to his daughter Debora and the church to his son Samuel. The economical situation of the orphanage was extremely critical: there was no money to pay the bills nor to buy food. Starting in 1990 a group of individuals from an Orange County church made the commitment to support this needy orphanage with some supplies, however there continues to be a tremendous need for funds for utilities, particularly water as the local water supply is sporadic at best.
