CORAZON.  In Spanish, HEART.

Early Morning Photo Op Before Leaving for Baja California, Mexico

It’s a heartfelt name for a non-profit, almost entirely volunteer organization that has offered shelter, education and community to thousands of our neighbors in northern Baja California for more than 30 years.

Although Corazon offers a wide variety of opportunities to volunteers, the way many sponsors and volunteers first become involved is through construction projects. Corazon has been building and repairing homes in Mexico through “Build a House in a Day” projects since its beginning in 1978.  Saint Dunstan’s teens and adults have participated in build-a-house-a-day for the past 7 years.
