Kathleen,
I did not know there would be no room for tables at the October Presbytery meeting. I think I will still plan to attend the meeting, especially with focus on Mission. Would be interested in hearing what people have to say.
The Valle Hermoso city social service department provides basic food but it is not sufficient so the 20 pesos per week ($1.65) and that hungry children are not able to learn. Pretty basic. On top of this, new city government with a new mayor and staff means that there is a suspension of DIF supplied food until the new staff gets into office. This happens on October 1. Lorena also shares her resources with another nearby kindergarten! CUPS volunteers built the kitchen dining area for this small school that serves a rural community just north of Valle Hermoso and has helped with school supplies, enrichment materials and clothing, particularly for winter for many years.
In 1998, our volunteers built an expansion for the Cerebral Palsy Center in Valle Hermoso. Last week, the director, Yolanda Ochoa, invited CUPS to attend the 25th anniversary of the founding of the Center. All through the celebratory program, it was so obvious that faith really kept the center open most especially in the recent difficult years.
Nuff said. Is there anything I can do to help at the October meeting.
Peace and serenity for the great work you are doing on with MOJC.
