Ensenada, August 2008
Our August, 2008 group that went to Ensenada, Mexico consisted of families and friends from Utah, Arizona and Alberta, Canada. We all met in San Diego and departed together in a caravan to Ensenada (La Misión), Mexico.
We were able to divide our group and time between projects at the orphanage, a young family trying to start on their own, the small medical clinic in the town of La Misión and two construction projects with families in Ensenada.
During the week that we were there we were able to haul bucket upon bucket of sand and gravel, mix cement the "Mexican way," builds cinder-block walls and give an older lady and another family hope in their lives. To think that people from such divers places would come and work in cement and the hot summer sun brought them to tears. Yet, we as the visitors, gained much more than we could ever give.
We were able to teach first aid and give out many donated first aid kits, get our hands dirty with cement, dirt and paint, lose very badly to the orphanage's own soccer team, learn to dance and even fly.
On Friday we were joined by a large group from a cruise who came to work with us for a day. They provided a great amount of energy and expertise. Thank you to the group from Morris Murdoch Guided Tours. It was great to work with you if only for one day!
