INNOCENT ORPHANAGE IN TIJUANA, A HOME FOR ABUSED TEENAGE BOYS. IT IS THE ONLY FACILITY OF ITS TYPE IN ALL OF TIJUANA. 0 0 1026176 ST. INNOCENT ORPHANAGE RESCUES ORPHANED AND ABANDONED BOYS AND GIVES THEM A CHANCE TO LIVE SUCCESSFUL, PRODUCTIVE LIVES. THE BOYS RECEIVE A QUALITY EDUCATION, LEARN VOCATIONAL SKILLS, PARTICIPATE IN SPORTS, RECEIVE PSYCHOLOGICAL COUNSELING AND ARE TRAINED IN THE CHRISTIAN LIFE. ALL OF THIS, PLUS A STRUCTURED AND LOVING ENVIRONMENT, ALLOWS A MIRACULOUS TRANSFORMATION TO OCCUR. INSTEAD OF FENDING FOR THEMSELVES ON STREETS FILLED WITH CRIME, DRUGS, AND PROSTITUTION, THEY NOW HAVE THE FREEDOM TO PREPARE FOR A BRIGHT FUTURE AND TO BECOME GIVERS, NOT TAKERS. THE MEXICAN GOVERNMENT HAS RECOGNIZED ST. INNOCENT ORPHANAGE AS THE BEST IN THE STATE. WE HAD OVER 88 BOYS IN OUR PROGRAMS AND 18 BOYS WERE SERVED AT THE ORPHANAGE DURING THE YEAR ENDED AUGUST 2023. 392827 SINCE INCEPTION, PROJECT MEXICO HAS BUILT OVER 449 HOMES FOR THE POOR IN MEXICO WITH THE HELP OF NEARLY 17,084 VOLUNTEERS FROM 49 US STATES, MANY CANADIAN PROVINCES AND 11 FOREIGN COUNTRIES. MANY FAMILIES ENDURE SQUALID CONDITIONS IN DIRT-FLOOR SHACKS PIECED TOGETHER WITH CARDBOARD, OLD TARPS AND WOODEN PALLETS. WITH NO PROTECTION FROM THE ELEMENTS, CHILDREN AND ELDERLY OFTEN DIE DURING COLD RAINSTORMS. THE LACK OF SECURITY IN THEIR FLIMSY SHACKS MAKES THEM EASY VICTIMS FOR THIEVES. A PROJECT MEXICO HOME PROVIDES A CONCRETE FLOOR, SOLID WALLS AND ROOF, A WARM INTERIOR, AND A LOCKING DOOR. THIS IS A QUANTUM LEAP FORWARD FOR IMPOVERISHED MEXICAN FAMILIES AND GIVES THEM HOPE FOR THE FUTURE. 24 HOMES WERE BUILT AND 45,978 VOLUNTEER HOURS WERE DONATED DURING THE YEAR ENDED AUGUST 2023. 29680 ST INNOCENT - SERVICE WORKS (SISW) IS THE PREMIER SERVICE-LEARNING PROGRAM MANAGING VOLUNTEER BUILD PROJECTS AND RESOURCES FOR NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS IN NORTH AMERICA. SISW PROVIDES BOTH A CORE CURRICULUM AND A SERVICE COMPONENT TO HELP VOLUNTEERS BECOME ACTIVE, ENGAGED, SERVICE LEADERS EQUIPPED TO RESPOND TO VARIOUS NEEDS IN THEIR COMMUNITY. THROUGH DISASTER RESPONSE, INTERNATIONAL HUMANITARIAN AID, OR COMMUNITY REHABILITATION AND RECONSTRUCTION EFFORTS, ST. INNOCENT SERVICE WORKS GIVES VOLUNTEERS THE TOOLS REQUIRED TO OFFER COMPASSIONATE SERVICE TO OUR FELLOW HUMANS IN NEED. 116796 IN 2023 PROJECT MEXICO OF THE ORTHODOX CHURCH WAS ABLE TO FURTHER DEVELOP IT'S EFFORTS TO MINISTER TO THE NEEDY OF THE TIJUANA AREA. WE HAVE PROVIDED HOMES FOR FAMILIES AND A FAMILY FOR ORPHANS FOR MORE THE THREE DECADES. CONSISTENTLY WE HAVE ALWAYS FED THE SPIRITUAL NEEDS OF THE MEXICAN PEOPLE THROUGH PRAYER AND THE LIVING THE GOSPEL BY HELPING THE SUFFERING. BY ESTABLISHING A CHURCH OFF THE ORPHANAGE GROUNDS, OUR GOAL WILL FLOURISH THAT MUCH MORE BY JESUS HAVING A CONCRETE PRESENCE IN THE TIJUANA FOR PEOPLE TO VISIT AND ALSO FOR THE OLDER GRADUATED ORPHAN BOYS TO HAVE A LOCAL CHURCH TO CALL HOME. THE FUNDS RECEIVED TO PURCHASE LAND AND TO BUILD A HOUSE OF WORSHIP WILL BE RECEIVED BY US AND THEN EXPENSED FOR IT'S ENTIRE PURPOSE, TO ESTABLISH AN ORTHODOX PRESENCE IN TIJUANA TO SERVICE THE NEEDY. APPROPRIATELY, THE ASSETS OF THIS COMMUNITY WILL BELONG TO THE LOCAL CANONICAL ORTHODOX ARCHDIOCESE OF MEXICO. PROJECT MEXICO IS ONCE AGAIN A VESSEL TO BRING HOPE AND RELIEF TO THE PEOPLE ON THE FRONT LINE. IN ADDITION, THIS ENDEAVOR WAS DISCUSSED AND APPROVED BY THE ENTIRE BOARD OF PROJECT MEXICO. MAY WE ALWAYS NEVER LOOSE SITE OF OUR PURPOSE AND BRING HOPE TO THE POOR FAMILIES AND CHILDREN OF TIJUANA. 116796 1565479 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 8 0 1 9 1 0 1 MX 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 15 15 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 CA X THE ORGANIZATION 6194264610 3802 MAIN STREET 6 CHULA VISTA CA 91911 DENNIS AWAD CHAIRMAN 5.00 X X 0 0 0 PAUL KINAN CO-VICE CHAIRMAN 0.50 X X 0 0 0 SERGE ANDERSON CO-VICE CHAIRMAN 0.50 X X 0 0 0 TOM SINGLETON TREASURER 1.00 X X 0 0 0 RAMI YANNI SECRETARY 0.50 X X 0 0 0 DAN ANDREWS DIRECTOR 0.50 X 0 0 0 JULIE PAPATHEOFANIS DIRECTOR 0.50 X 0 0 0 MIKE MANATOS DIRECTOR 0.50 X 0 0 0 GEORGE ALEX DIRECTOR 0.50 X 0 0 0 EARL WINTER DIRECTOR 0.50 X 0 0 0 DR MICHAEL COURIS DIRECTOR 0.50 X 0 0 0 NICOLE PENTHEROUDAKIS DIRECTOR 0.50 X 0 0 0 CONNIE CONTES DIRECTOR 0.50 X 0 0 0 MARK FRIDELL DIRECTOR 0.50 X 0 0 0 GREG LOWE DIRECTOR 0.50 X 0 0 0 NICHOLOAS L ANDRUCHOW EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.00 X 81205 0 73952 81205 0 73952 0 0 1 0 0 2269525 115768 2269525 46557 46557 546547 603176 -56629 -56629 -56629 2259453 0 0 -10072 148557 118845 7428 22284 667993 531853 53230 82910 96001 46593 45279 4129 34562 16723 10387 7452 2188 2188 67717 6556 61161 12096 12096 52803 51475 530 798 57370 41 57329 47016 24003 22924 89 76749 52600 24149 25637 12549 41 13047 15470 15470 54165 54165 40367 40367 BUILDING COSTS 218420 215508 2607 305 CAR & TRUCK EXPENSE 123461 123325 0 136 CHURCH PLANTING 116796 116796 FOOD 97355 91254 2517 3584 185182 101046 35422 48714 2139905 1565479 333649 240777 260330 256160 234095 86258 1210 1223 32330 2685163 1159908 1214497 1525255 1366571 1594378 170006 61934 3246709 3557538 2864 78949 350000 350000 352864 428949 X 1641217 1967258 1252628 1161331 2893845 3128589 3246709 3557538 119548 115196 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 1705706 741798 1566195 2880803 2269525 9164027 1705706 741798 1566195 2880803 2269525 9164027 982638 8181389 2316 212 7892 15129 46557 72106 129 129 9236262 0.88580 0.88180 X PART II, SHORT YEAR EXPLANATION: THE ORGANIZATION DECIDED TO CHANGE TO AN AUGUST 30TH FISCAL YEAR END FROM THE CALENDAR YEAR, AND HENCE A SHORT-YEAR RETURN WAS FILED FOR THE 8-MONTH FISCAL YEAR ENDING AUGUST 30, 2020.
