Regala Una Sonrisa - The Gift of a Smile - Christmas 2007.
The Christmas Train Chugs on during this Holiday Season.

We are very pleased to have friends of the Christmas Train continue helping children during this holiday season.

This week toys, school supplies, books, blankets, knitted hats were distributed to over 800 children at schools in Tijuana. These schools have dirt floors, no electricity and teach on double shifts. We want to thank Jose and Sylvia Cuervo for this out reach. Jose is a member of the National Latino Peace Officers Association and works for San Diego County District Attorneys Office. As many of you know the NLPOA provided our security on the train and in the stadium for the Christmas Train over this last decade. In addition the Mayor’s wife of Tijuana attended the celebration at the school and was most grateful. Jose and Sylvia do this work under an organization they started, “Gift of a Smile”.

The Christmas Train over the last decade has helped or benefited more than 50,000 children under the age of 12. This could not have been accomplished without your support. Thank you on behalf of the children.

The Christmas Train started with a gift of a twenty dollar bill and the word’s ”help a child.” Who would have ever thought the twenty dollars would grow so much and would help so many children and families.

Merry Christmas, and God bless you all.
