Meet Your host
Breanna Danielle M.S.
It been in my heart for years to lead people through community impact projects, while providing a tangible experience to personal growth and I'm stoked to announce that we're making it happen with a whole new spin on our retreats! I will be hosting a 2-part experience. Each packed with two FULL days of adventure, insight, and strategy to make both you and our world a better place.
Don't miss this opportunity to escape the ordinary and invest in yourself. Spaces are limited, so reserve your spot today and take the first step towards a healthier, happier, and more fulfilling life.
Become a world changer!
Get ready for an impactful weekend across the border! In collaboration with Bajabound, we will build a new home for a family in desperate need just south of Ensenada, Mexico. Our goal is simple, yet powerful- to break the cycle of generational poverty, one family at a time. We invite you to be a part of this transformative experience, helping lift another family from dirt floors to the warmth of a place they can proudly call home.
WHY JOIN US?
No construction experience is required – only a compassionate heart and a willingness to make a tangible impact. You have the option to work on the home itself and/or engage in various outreach projects within the community. We build a home from the floor up in just 2.5 days; with efforts extending beyond construction, reaching orphanages, elderly homes, and migrant camps, fostering social impact at every turn.
YOUR CONTRIBUTION MATTERS:
- Beach House Lodging: Stay in a secure gated community, enjoying accommodation that are steps aways from the ocean.
- All-Inclusive Meals: From Friday lunch to Sunday breakfast, savor delicious authentic Mexican food that bring our community together.
- Building supplies + Materials: Contribute directly to the construction project, providing the tools for transaction.
Join The Build
When + Where?
The group will meet in Chula Vista, CA Friday, October 25th at 8am, with the plan to return to our same meeting spot on Sunday evening, October 27, 2024.
The journey to Maneadero, Mexico, the site of our construction project, is a safe 2.5-hour drive from the border on well-maintained roads. For your convenience, we will assist in coordinating carpools.

FAQs
- So you've signed up for the house build. Now what? Your group leader (Breanna) will emailed you the link as the dates get close (about 1 month out). If you have not heard back yet from the host either after October 1st or within 48 hours of signing up (October 1-25), email mermaidmethodofficial@gmail.com and we'll make sure you receive everything you need to prepare for the build.
- What should I pack? Is special clothing required? Your passport is a MUST! Work clothes are highly recommended. Paint is permanent and dirt/mud is inevitable to avoid, so please bring clothes you are willing to get dirty.
- How far is the build from the border? The drive is about 2.5 hours, going south along the coast. There are three toll stops in between that provide safe areas for us to use the restroom and grab snacks on our route.
- How long is the border wait? Prepare for ~2 hours on average in the "Ready Lanes" or "All Traffic Lanes." A good recommendation is finding a group together of Sentri/Global Entry drivers who are able to all go across the border together. Not everyone has this pass available and will need to prepare for a longer border wait time.
- Do I need international travel insurance? Baja Bound Ministries and its Mexico colleague, Rumbo Al Valle de la LIBERTAD, strongly urges volunteers to obtain international insurance coverage for their trip to Mexico. The importance of such coverage cannot be understated as Baja Bound Ministries and its Mexico colleague, Rumbo Al Valle de la LIBERTAD, will not cover such expenses and all volunteers are asked to waive any claim against Baja Bound Ministries and its Mexico colleague, Rumbo Al Valle de la LIBERTAD, should they be injured or suffer other losses.
Coverage is available for as little as $3.30 per person, per day and will normally cover:
• Medical emergencies
• Emergency extraction
• Personal liability
• Lost or damaged luggage
• Travel disruptions such as flight cancellations
• Loss of valuable items
• Other unforeseen events
• For more information on coverage ask your Baja Bound representation.
