Castaway Kids Mexico is a charity group made up of American, Canadian and Mexican volunteers willing to sponsor the less fortunate children and families of Guaymas. Castaway Kids makes a positive difference in the lives of Mexican children in Guaymas and surrounding communities by funding education scholarships to needy children, hosting recreational activities for children, providing food, clothing and shelter to families in emergency situations and mentoring children from underprivileged families.
This group is always looking for volunteers so last Saturday Fred and I offered to help Castaway Kids take students to the Dolphinario. Although these students live in Guaymas, which is a sea port, many have never been to the beach.
Two busloads of 12 - 16 year olds were given lunch at the Dolphinario, along with a tour of the sea lion and dolphin shows. I know there are many different opinions on the captive dolphins, but the show was very good....and this is Mexico!
On the way home we were stopped by the Federales who conducted a search of the vehicles. A huge show of firepower!
