Otay Group

Welcome to the St. George Summer Charter! We are Todd and Sharon Hartle. We’ve been going to Mexico since 2009 with Builders Without Borders of Utah. Our group goes in the beginning of June to Otay, which is located just a few miles beyond the San Diego, California border.

We build simple homes for families in desperate need, repair and replace roofs, provide necessary food, clothing and medical supplies, teach classes to help better their lives, and provide opportunities and materials that will help the people acquire skills that will allow them to earn money to provide for their families. When we build a home for someone in Mexico, we are not just changing the lives of those that we serve by providing shelter, security, and means to become self-reliant, we are changing the lives of generations to come. The long term effect of what we do is incalculable in the lives of those we serve.

We would love to have you and your family and friends come join us and be a part of this wonderfully rewarding experience. The participation fee is $300 per person. This fee covers meals while in Mexico, and some trip expenses; any remaining goes towards building homes.

If you are not able to come with us, but would still like to be a part of helping to change people’s lives you may make a donation. Be assured that 100% of your thoughtful donation goes towards humanitarian projects and is tax deductible. Please feel free to contact us with any questions you may have about our trip or making a donation. Make sure you take a look at our page, some of our trip pictures, testimonials, and blog. Thank you for your interest and we look forward to hearing from you!
