January 2013 - Playground




We recently were able to purchase the area of land surrounding our center at Loma Blanca, a very poor neighborhood on the outskirts of Juarez, Mexico. Many of the homes do not have electricity and the city is just now in the process of bringing water out to this area. We told you about the soccer teams that we have organized with the youth who attend our catechism classes, and now we hope to make a small field and playground which the kids can use.

In the providence of God, someone just donated a large wooden swing and slide set. Some of the men went to pick it up this week, took apart all the pieces and loaded it on the truck. They took pictures and numbered the various sections with chalk so they can remember how to reassemble it when they get it over to Loma Blanca.
  
The kids are so excited about having a place of their own to play. Even though it will be a rough dirt field, to them it is a dream come true.

We pray that you have a very happy and healthy New Year!
