Our first project on our land was the construction of four cabins and the shower house. This has enabled us to host groups and sleep 24 people in beds.
Presently we are constructing our main facility which will house our offices, storage, commercial kitchen, classrooms, cafeteria, gathering space, library, apartment for interns, and an apartment for our Buena Onda manager. Once we complete our building we will be able to open the doors to the community and begin to see the impact we have been dreaming for.
Unsupervised children are at a heightened risk of abuse, pregnancy, and neglect. Buena Onda’s afterschool programs invest in the mind, body, and spirit of each individual.
We are dedicated to enhancing our team through local staff development initiatives, and whenever feasible, we make expenditures and contracts within the Punta Colonet community.
We invite teams for 1 to 10 days to engage with children and work on a service project that suits their skills. Activities may include campfires with reflections, surfing world famous Shipwrecks and Cuatros Casas, and possibly shopping in Baja if time allows.

During school breaks, we have the opportunity to optimize time for the growth and safety of the youth in Punta Colonet.
We will come alongside single mothers who work in the agricultural fields by providing free daycare services. These courageous and hard-working moms will no longer be forced to leave their children unsupervised while at work.
Monthly self-development classes will be available to community parents.
A weekly event for middle and high school students, featuring activities such as games and movie nights.
We aim to collaborate with all local schools to unite the entire Colonet community for an event focused on enjoyment, resource sharing, and empowerment.
We are launching an internship program for individuals interested in experiencing Baja culture. Participants will engage with Buena Onda leaders and young adults, gaining cultural insight and mentorship.

With your help, we will open our doors in 2023 and begin to come alongside the Punta Colonet community in life-changing ways. A heartfelt “thank you” for your love for single moms and the children of Baja!
We accept donations of money, toys, clothing, canned goods, and anything else you think would support the residents of Punta Colonet.
The Other Side is shot in Baja California, Mexico, telling a story you might not expect from the vantage point of 4 adventure motorcycle riders from Southern California. Showcasing the adrenaline rush of the wild side of Baja, it’s not that much different than the struggle to survive in everyday life.
Meet us, meet them. Welcome to Buena Onda.
