Que paso, (What is happening)

Mexico, a land of contrast and diversity, beautiful sites, lovely people, having both opportunity and desperate poverty with hopelessness for many. Tourists are discovering Chiapas. People are coming from everywhere to see it. The Mexican people are celebrating as much as possible. Life seems grand. But behind the scenes. life is very hard. Too hard for many to understand. We are helping the ones we can. Please help us make a difference here.

The Situation Here

Mexico has many natural resources. Yet much of those are controlled by large corporations and foreign interests. A few are making large sums of money, more are living middle class lives and many are living in desperate poverty. Looking at the big picture, one can be overwhelmed. The government has launched many programs of assistance, but the need is greater than available resources. Progress is being made, with much more to do. Gifts of time, money and presence here will help someone.

Many organizations have come. Some to help, some to profit, some to proselytize. But still there is great need among the poor and disadvantaged. It is for this reason, we are here trying to help a few more. The suburbs and mountains are filled with those in need of food, shelter, medical attention, better housing, employment and education. YOU can make a difference by participating.

Reaching Out

Life is a challenge at times. We can be so preoccupied with our busy life and it's problems that we lose touch with other people. The news is filled with disasters and more world problems. It is easier to just space it out so we don't have to think about it. Yet this can leave us with the the uncomfortable feeling that something is missing in our life and at times, feelings of guilt because we are do nothing for those less fortunate.

On the flip side, there is such overwhelming need all over the world, one is at a loss to know where to start. Since we can not possibly help everyone, the best thing is to start with one. Become familiar with the situation. Decide what you can do to make a difference.

On these pages you will find current information with many ways to help people that really need and will appreciate it. These pages are about what one band of people united in a common cause are doing here in Mexico. Please consider joining with us in this effort. Knowing you are making a difference to someone brings inner satisfaction and also for those who care, a tax receipt.
