914 Wizard? No way. I got too much to learn.  Group: Members Posts: 4,099 Joined: 21-April 03 From: Gig Harbor, WA Member No.: 598  |
I spent the last week in Tijauna with a group of 105 kids and adults building 6 homes for the poor. We would probably call them sheds but, the families were thrilled to have them.
It kind of makes problems with the 914 a little insignificant. Of course it gave me one more thing in common with our family. My car doesn't run either. Here's the new home owners and the work crew. Dave Attached image(s)

Here was home for 4 nights last week. No running water, slit latrines, no electricity.

The people in SoCal know what the weather was like last week. It was impossible to stay warm and dry. Here is camp on Tuesday morning.
Uphill from us was a chicken farm and a dairy. We had some sick people. Attached image(s)

Gringos in the Barrio. We had to be out before dark. The kids were great and they beat the sh*t out of our kids playing soccer.

The kids got to play 1 day. Friday at Mission Beach.
Sorry about posting a travelogue but, the whole trip really brought home how lucky we are. Dave Attached image(s)

Hey that's great Dave.
I know what you mean about what some people will call a house, but they are just happy to have a place to call home. |

Dave,
My nephew was there too with his Youth Group. Apparently there were 600 teens and adults... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/clap.gif) |

Aw man, you didn't let me know you were coming. I have done such stuff in the past down there. I enjoyed it very much and it does put everything into perspective. You rock man!

You have done a great service to humanity.
Groups like these have a good purpose, but they really should worry more about the people in our country instead of others first. Something about removing the 2x4 from your own eye before you try and remove the eye lash from someone else's. |
