It's almost time...

Today is Thursday... the final Thursday of work for a while for Dean and I - that sounds so weird, and hard to believe!





Before I head out to work today, I wanted to share a little bit with you all about the first part of this wonderful trip we are about to embark on, Project Mexico.





You may remember that last summer we went down to Project Mexico (in Rosarito, neat Tijuana) for a week to participate in Orthodox Basic Training - a week long home building trip where 150 people, mostly youths, come together to build multiple homes for those in need. We stayed in tents for the week on the grounds of the ranch where St. Innocent's Orphanage is, and just had an awesome time... hence, why we're going to spend the summer there. We hope to help out with as many projects as we possibly can while we're there.





Here is some more information about St. Innocent Orphanage and Project Mexico:
-Project Mexico: Created in 1988 to help struggling families in the local community by building homes that will provide security, safety and a permanent structure for them to live in
-St Innocent Orphanage: Est. in 1996 to further expand the outreach to young boys who were living on the streets or who had been put out of other orphanages, to fend for themselves.

For further information (because that was just to spark your interest, of course!) Please go to:
www.Projectmexico.org and read about each of these wonderful programs.

Ok well I'm off to work! See you next time!
