=======> WHAT DO WE DO ?
__________________________

The state of Guanajuato is located in the central part of Mexico. Quite a few of its villages are small, isolated, away from the cities and in the middle of the dry mountains. Their inhabitants live out of agriculture and cattle breeding.
Guanajuato has the 3rd highest rate of migrants from Mexico to the U.S. Most of them are men, who illegally cross the border to the U.S. with the hope of finding a job and making money. Unfortunately, more than half of them will decide not to come back and will stop supporting their family.
Therefore, the women are left alone in desperate need to provide for their children, as well as taking care of the community. We have been to villages where you hardly see a man older that 18.
Mano Rosa goes to these villages to reach the children, the women and the few elder men that remain.

History

The adventure started about 17 years ago, and quickly became a family and friends tradition. We all felt the obligation to give a little to the ones who have the less and need the most.
Year after year we have the pleasure to see more and more people getting involved into the project. 
There is nothing like seeing a big smile on a child’s face when getting a toy.
