Regarding the Orphanage, Ensenada is in charge of the Grace Bible Baptist Church directed by Pastor Miguel Pruglo who explained that this church has worked “to save the lives of children for more than 10 years in Ensenada, Mexico. All children are saved from a hard life of violence and hunger. We currently have 20 children in the orphanage and we have to expand the orphanage. However, the state does nothing to help. Everything is done with the help of donations.”
