Sixth graders at Del Mar Hills Academy wrote handmade Christmas cards in Spanish to orphaned children in Baja California.
Del Mar Hills Academy Spanish teacher Andrew Burke is leading a Christmas project he hopes will teach his sixth grade students empathy: They are writing Christmas cards in Spanish to orphaned children in Baja California, Mexico.
Once finished, the cards will be sent to Corazon de Vida, which is a nonprofit that provides funding to more than 10 Mexican orphanages. The charity covers the cost of food, shelter and higher education for around 500 children in Baja.“It's a really nice thing to do,” sixth grader Eva said. “It shows that we care about them and that there are people who are thinking of them."
