One of the great things about living in Mexico is the ever transparent need to make an impact in other people who are less fortunate’s lives. It’s something that over time becomes a desire of the soul. I have found it inevitable no matter your path or walk in life. In Lake Chapala there is a foundation known as the Lake Chapala Charities that makes a huge impact in the lakeside community.

The Foundation for Lake Chapala Charities represents the local charities around Lake Chapala, Mexico, that support orphanages and elderly assisted living homes, provide financial assistance for children of the indigenous poor so they can afford school, and provide medical assistance to help with disabilities such as cerebral palsy, meningitis, cancer, birth defects, hearing loss, etc.
