We increased the number of our Mexico work project trips in 2015 to eleven, taking a total of 541 volunteers to three orphanages in Baja California, Mexico and one orphanage in Guaymas, Sonora, Mexico. We delivered groceries, toys, clothing, educational and medical supplies. We purchased building materials for our volunteers to build retaining walls, sidewalks, beds, and to remodel dormitories at the orphanages. At Casa de Paz Orphanage, one work project focused on installing an irrigation system to help the orphanage sustain its operations through agriculture. Working with Baja Family Outreach, our volunteers served breakfast to children living in the old city dump in Tijuana, Mexico. We also spent a significant amount of time caring for infants and playing with the other children in the orphanages to deepen our friendships with these children and their caregivers. 9069 8564 ACHF gave monetary donations and grants to the three Baja orphanages and one Guaymas orphanage we work with. The orphanages use the majority of these funds to pay utilities and other bills, purchase groceries, and buy the uniforms that are required of all Mexican children to attend school. 745 40 A new initiative in 2015 was to assist one of our volunteers families in creating a separate board to help Buena Vida Orphanage set up its new campus and retain their property rights. Kent White joined this family in Baja, Mexico for a few days in September to translate between the directors at Buena Vida Orphanage and the American volunteers, and to introduce everyone to Mexican attorneys who will continue to guide this process. This trip also involved planning agricultural projects at Casa de Paz, which initiative should benefit many orphanages in the surrounding area by providing them with fresh produce. We were able to make good progress on expanding the network of support to those orphanages we work with. 133086 true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true true false false false false false true false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 4 0 true 4 true false false false false false true true false false false false false false X 6 5 true false true false false false false true true false false true true true true false false false false false UT X X X Mary White 8014349200 2727 W 620 N Provo UT 84601 Perry V Bratt President 2.00 0.00 X X 4600 0 0 K Paul MacArthur Co Chairman of the Board 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Carolene F Cook DirectorVP 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Gerald H Van Bruggen Director 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Mark A Kendell Co Chairman of the Board 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Rex Hale Director 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Stephen Kent White Executive Director 7.00 0.00 X 8581 0 0 Mary White Treasurer 10.00 0.00 X 9058 0 0 Babata Sonnenberg Secretary 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 22239 0 0 0 false false false 620 178310 2461 178930 15 15 620 178945 0 0 15 11980 11980 77743 77743 17639 5839 10856 944 5622 2457 3061 104 3236 1154 1936 146 6700 6700 459 459 4652 4652 476 18 398 60 2009 383 1626 3600 3600 21545 21545 42 42 Licensing 75 75 Supplies 977 615 151 211 BankingPaypal Fees 2510 2328 182 Misc 157 157 159422 133086 24689 1647 29838 33125 28856 43871 58694 76996 2725 1007 950 1447 3675 2454 X 55019 74542 55019 74542 58694 76996 19523 0 X false false false X 69609 72874 76776 107302 178930 505491 69609 72874 76776 107302 178930 505491 22403 483088 310 17 20 21 15 383 505874 0.95500 0.91060 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED false false false false false false false false false false true North America Not the United States Program services Orphanage supplies 77743 77743 77743 North America Not the United States Orphanage assistance 55941 Cash and checks North America Not the United States Orphanage assistance 19448 Cash and checks North America Not the United States Orphanage assistance 2354 Cash and checks false false false false false false true Door Of Faith Ministries Inc PO Box 6434 Chula Vista CA 91909 412063114 501c3 11980 Orphanage assistance Monitoring procedures (Part I, line 2) ACHF monitors the use of grant funds through several visits per year to the orphanage in Mexico that benefits from the funds.
