**Christmas Event Planned for Vulnerable Children in Tijuana**
On Saturday, December 14, 2024, a special Christmas Party for Children will take place, expected to bring joy to 154 kids from the Villa del Campo and El Niño communities in Tijuana. The event, launched a decade ago by Jessica Martínez Madrigal and others, aims to provide a memorable experience for children in these underserved areas.
Organized by a network of friends and civil associations, the event relies on their resources and efforts. During the celebration, there will be recreational activities, along with a focus on animal care and violence prevention among children and adolescents. Martinez Madrigal noted the importance of fostering care for both animals and the environment, especially in areas facing challenges such as animal cruelty.
The event is set in schools associated with the National Council for Educational Promotion, located in Tijuana’s rural zones. Often, these schools face overcrowding, with teachers handling multiple classes without adequate support from educational authorities.
The initiative also strives to ensure that each child receives a Christmas gift that closely matches their wishes. Supporters are encouraged to donate gifts, serve food, and assist with organization on the event day. Contributions can be made by contacting 664-123-94-60. This project is driven purely by goodwill, devoid of any profit or political interests.

Organizations across Tijuana are rallying to bring holiday cheer to children in vulnerable communities by hosting various events. These initiatives focus not only on celebration but also on education and social awareness.
In addition to the Christmas party planned in Villa del Campo and El Niño, local groups are conducting drives to supply winter clothing and educational materials to underserved families. These efforts highlight the community’s commitment to improving the quality of life for marginalized groups.
Furthermore, there is a push for greater awareness and intervention in issues such as violence prevention, with coordinators emphasizing the importance of creating safe environments for youths to thrive. These holiday events present an opportunity to address broader social issues while fostering a sense of community and belonging among participants.
The local government is also stepping in by increasing efforts to monitor and improve educational conditions in rural areas, where overcrowding remains a chronic issue. By working alongside civil society, the hope is to sustain long-term positive outcomes for Tijuana’s youth even after the festive season.
