The Friends of Pimpollo mission also includes expanding the hearts and minds of our volunteers. Teams and individual volunteers travel to southern Mexico and offer help. Each team is unique and forms it’s own personality. Some of our teams include:
- Skilled groups of health care workers
- Project oriented teams – builders and painters, electricians, gardeners etc.
- Grade school or high school community service teams
- Shoe shoppers
- College students and recent grads
- Some teams have more talent than desire to work hard, such as music, theater, and dance. There have been many wonderfully entertaining moments on teams… with much laughter included.
Team visits are hands-on affairs that require only love and a willingness to help. Friends of Pimpollo volunteers pay their own travel and lodging expenses as well as a team project fee. They travel to southern Mexico to work, to play, and to spend time with those we serve, while experiencing the rich and wonderful culture of Oaxaca and Chiapas.
Anyone who travels with Friends of Pimpollo with an open mind and generous heart will leave with one, or several, special friends and the beginning of a lifetime bond.
