Amanda e Higinio... una testimonio de lucha, amor y entrega!

Amanda trabaja en la limpieza de áreas publicas y es una mama llena de amor, ella nos permitió compartir su historia para que madres como ella , no pierdan la esperanza y sepan que siempre hay una mano amiga que puede apoyarte cuando mas lo necesites. Solo hay que buscarla!!

Higinio no es como cualquier niño, Higino es un niño lleno de amor y a pesar de las circunstancias con las que nació en las que su cuerpo no le permite desarrollar coordinación motriz asi como un retraso en su aprendizaje y crecimiento, el no deja de luchar. 

Amanda tiene tres niños y es madre soltera, por lo que  la situación de necesidad que ella vive era imposible que pudiera pagar por algún tratamiento especial para Higinio.

Pero cuando se dio cuenta que Higinio sufría de bullying por los demas niños, decidió tomar cartas en el asunto. Se acerco a varias instituciones a pedir ayuda para poder tratar a Higinio y ofrecerle una esperanza de vida y asi fue que  Fundación Solmar le tendió la mano. 

Ahora Higinio,  con ayuda de Fundación Solmar , asiste cada semana al CRIT -Teleton de la paz y se  le proporciona terapia de lenguaje e inclusión con nuestra Terapista especializada que ha hecho de la vida de Higino un nuevo comenzar.. Ahora ya habla mejor y esta aprendiendo muchísimo!! Higinio esta feliz.! 

Agradecemos a la Terapeuta especializada  Mary Valdez por su amor y dedicación para trabajar con tanto entusiasmo con los niños que apoya Fundación Solmar... En hora buena Higinio, gracias por que con ejemplos como tu , sabemos que luchando se puede salir adelante!!!  :)

Our projects!






Los Cabos is growing by leaps and bounds due in large part to the immigration of families from mainland Mexico. Many of them arrive penniless and unemployed with hopes for a better future that may never materialize. While waiting for their situation to improve, families often find temporary housing in shanty towns under subhuman conditions.

These families need support. Fundacion Solmar is here to help:

  • Families living in poverty










  • Abandoned kids









  • Education programs










  • Health assistance for Kids












  • Elderly

Bring a thing!


When traveling to Mexico, the Solmar Foundation suggests you bring items badly needed by schools, orphanages and other organizations. Your gift can be left at the hotel office to be distributed. "Things to bring" - art supplies, pencils, notebooks, toys, coloring books, stickers, sports equipment, toothbrushes, toothpaste, soap and all kind of personal items.



We highly recommend people who are planning on visiting Los Cabos to bring in a suitcase full of clothes; maybe your kids have a bunch of stuff they don't use anymore, even yourself. Bring anything you know we'll be of great help to those people who need it the most.
You can leave the suitcases at the Solmar Foundation office located at Playa Grande Resort!
Together we can make the difference!

History of Solmar Foundation




Background
Solmar Hotels and Resorts has been a leader in tourism and sport fishing since 1965. From the very beginning, recognized the potential for Cabo to become a major league resort area. It had everything, including weather, natural beauty, exceptional fishing and close proximity to the USA.

In fact, the recent history of Cabo cannot be separated from Solmar Hotels and Resorts. In the early days, there was nothing but a landing strip (now the marina) and a fish cannery. When the cannery closed, Solmar Hotels and Resorts began a methodical process of turning the local sport fishing fleet into the most important in Mexico.

In those days, there were no airports, no roads, no water and no electricity. First, the entrepreneurs at Solmar Hotels and Resorts helped develop water wells, then electricity. Through the following years, they assisted with the negotiations that brought the road from La Paz, as well as the airport. It wasn't long before the rich and famous arrived in Cabo.

Because Los Cabos and Solmar Hotels and Resorts growth together, Solmar Group is a dedicated member of the community and constantly seeks ways to provide assistance where needed most. There is still a huge need for medical care, security and education. Solmar, as President of the Patronage for the Fire Department, received Presidential recognition for achieving the highest quality installation and, most important, for an exceptional training program that meets the most rigorous standards.



Getting started 
Our non-profit organization created in honor of the late Don Luis Bulnes Molleda, the founder and visionary behind the Solmar collection, to help those in need throughout Los Cabos. In an effort to continue the noble work started by Don Luis, the Solmar Foundation supplies critical social services not covered by the government and focuses on education, the development of marketable skills, and medical assistance.
Our leader Don Luis was always willing to help the less fortunate during his many years here in Los Cabos; the Solmar Foundation is a representation of his legacy and his unwavering love and commitment to this destination. We are too honored to have the opportunity to assist those in need throughout our community through the foundation and with the help of our valued guests.
Don Francisco Bulnes, son of Don Luis, officially established the Solmar Foundation with the first contribution of $20,000 in October 2011. Our organization has been created to help make a better community through the development of social services that are not provided by the government and to facilitate negotiations with public entities and Non Government Organizations (NGOs) to get help where it will do the most good.



Recognizing that individual efforts get scattered results, Solmar Group combines resources with other social programs to cover as many necessities as possible for those in need. Our Foundation also works with public agencies and non-government organizations to combine resources and direct assistance to the areas where it will do the most good.
Mission
To dignify the most needy and help them achieve a better life through community programs. The focus is on women and children living in poverty.
