Over 1,700 families in Todos Santos have lost their jobs due to the almost total shutdown of the tourism sector in town. The community has swung into action to ensure that none of these families go hungry, and thousands of despensas, or food packages, have been delivered since April. Sergio is the president of
A.C.T.S. (Asociacion de Colonos de Todos Santos)
, a local nonprofit that is spearheading this effort, and the A.C.T.S. board estimates that the need will continue until at least October. To help raise the funds required for this sustained effort, we are raffling off three prizes
that can be claimed any time in which we have space available for the next 48 months
. These prizes include:

A Few Words from ACTS Volunteers:

M
auricio Duran
, Manager of TOSEA Day Trips and ACTS Volunteer
"Like me, the vast majority of my neighbors here in Todos Santos work in the tourism industry. The total cessation of tourism activities due to COVID-19 has had a devastating impact on them, and families who have always proudly made it on their own now need assistance to get by. It has been my privilege to work as a volunteer bringing despensas funded by the community to these families. They are so grateful for the assistance, while also so eager to get back to work."

Laurel D'Angelo
, ACTS Board Member and Volunteer (pictured with fellow volunteers Yessi Santos and Maria Salvatierra)
"I work with a group of local women and men to deliver despensas to families in and around Todos Santos 5 days a week. I have always been moved by how gentle and kind the people of Todos Santos are, and in this time when they are faced with such adversity, these qualities seem to be more pronounced than ever. Many work in tourism, construction and agriculture and have found themselves unexpectedly out of a job. They would never have imagined needing help to feed their families, and are so grateful for the food packages to tide them over until their jobs return. Our community has united to ensure that no family goes without food during this time, and I would like to thank everyone who has donated so generously to help make this happen."

Ideas for Using a Full Camp Buy-Out:
(Remember, you have 48 months to take your trip - you can plan!)
|
|
- Have a party! Birthday, retirement, anniversary, graduation, life, just because. Treat yourself, family and friends
- Host a retreat for your yoga/mindfulness/art/nature group
- Lead a group of adventurers to Baja under your own brand or label
- Take that one special person to propose, tie the knot, renew vows, celebrate, romance, relax, rejuvenate
- Take your best buddy and have a lark
- Go by yourself and live like a pasha being waited on hand and foot!
NOTES
:
- It is perfectly acceptable to sell spaces on the trip you win and/or transfer it to family, friends or clients.
- There is no minimum age for Camp Cecil de la Isla. Camp Cecil de la Sierra is suitable only for those 10 and older.
- Tickets will be on sale through June 27, and we will announce the winners on June 29, 2020.
