Community Outreach Programs



Christmas Beyond Borders

Christmas Beyond Borders is a yearly program, which provides generous people the opportunity to lovingly pack boxes with gifts – as a simple, yet powerful message of God’s unconditional love. When a child receives a gift, that child receives more than a toy. That young person receives a toy that was lovingly purchased and prepared just for them. In previous years we’ve distribute thousands of toys, blankets; health kits and shoes.

The Christmas Beyond Borders program is a unique project of Centro Romero committed to bring joy and hope to children in desperate situations in Tijuana and beyond through gift-filled boxes, The program also provides an opportunity for people of all ages to be involved in a simple but hands-on project that has the power to transform children’s lives.
Be part of our efforts.

The Erendira Proiect

Ejido Eréndira is a small community located in the municipality of Ensenada in the state of Baja California. As a core part of our bi-national ministry, we conduct short-term medical mission trips through which we provide medical care to the residents of this geographically isolated community. Supplies are brought to each project, after which modest but efficient suites and consultation rooms are set up to provide medical care to people who may have waited for years for help.

We provide one or two week opportunities for volunteers to work in medical, dental, surgical optical clinics. Our medical volunteers come from a variety of traditions and backgrounds to work together with the common goal of serving the poor. There are 2 kinds of projects; general projects in which to provide general medical care, perform small surgeries and dental care. For these projects we need physicians, nurses, techs, pharmacists, anesthesiologists, general helpers and teens. We also have specialty projects, which require specialists in medical fields such as, general surgery, ophthalmology, OB GYN and plastic surgery.

Most groups bring their teams already assembled but there is always need for anesthesia, nurses and general helpers. Everyone is welcome!
