On a trip to beautiful La Paz, Mexico, a few years back, we researched possible ways to help kids in the area. We had the great good fortune to find Nueva Creaçion Niños and its founder, Roberto Osuna.
After battling addiction, as well as throat cancer, Roberto founded the “New Creation” kids’ home a quarter century ago. The 23 children currently in residence—from toddlers to teens—reflect the joy and faith Roberto embodies.
We visited again just recently in early 2025, stuffing our rental car from floor to ceiling with bulk foods, bed sheets, pillows, clothes, and other needed supplies. We brought sports equipment and art supplies, prepared to spend several days together. Our crew had a blast playing with the kids, getting to know them, doing projects, practicing Spanish, and sharing milk and cookies!
Roberto has a huge heart, reflected in the welcoming children that he, his gracious wife, Alma, and other volunteers care for.
On departure, we huddled together as Roberto (who is also a minister) said a short prayer of gratitude for us all.
We drove south toward Baja, appreciating our good fortune–being able to offer a little and receive so much.
We stay in touch and look forward to returning to see the children and the lovely town of La Paz!
