Malcolm Smith Motorsports Foundation, Inc.

Thank you for your interest in the Malcolm Smith Project in Valle Trinidad. The incredible support from the motorsport community has been a surprise to myself and my family. We began helping the children of Mexico in 1995 as a personal mission. With the support of the motorsport community it has grown into something we could never have imagined.

In 2002, at the urging of Mexican officials, I created Malcolm Smith Motorsports Foundation, a California 501c3 non-profit. The Foundation status facilitates our border crossings with materials and equipment to be used at El Oasis. Second, it gives the motorsport community the benefit of having the contributions they make on behalf of El Oasis, tax deductible.

Our efforts include:

• New computer lab in 2008 with Dell Computers (Larry Holt)
  
• Funding for staff-maintenance
  
• Satellite system for Telecommunications-Phone and Internet

When we began at El Oasis, the first children to arrive were small, ages 2-4 years old. Today those children are entering High school and University. It is our goal to provide a higher education for these children, to assure their self sufficiency and to give them the tools they need to be leaders in Baja.

From Buddy and Jessica...

"While nothing can ever bring him back, my wife and I have chosen to honor him with the "Chase House project" at El Oasis Orphanage at Valle Trinidad(as seen on Dust to Glory). Our hope is to have a place for the greater off-road community to give something back to those kids who were not as privileged as our Chase. "
