Accommodation
Visit their websitePack for a Purpose does not condone visiting orphanages, as this can often lead to negative impacts on children. The accommodation or tour company working with the orphanage will deliver the supplies in a coordinated and respectful way so that the children can benefit from them. Your generosity is not diminished because you do not interact with the children.

Project Description
Dame Una Mano is a far-reaching project that seeks to promote the healthy development of disadvantaged children and adolescents. Unfortunately, in this part of Mexico, schools do not have all the supplies that are needed to properly educate their students. We facilitate supply donations from our guests and deliver the supplies to the communities of Quinta Roo that need it most. Over 1,200 children have benefited so far from this project.
