Committed Relief and CC La Habra are planning to take
volunteers to Ejido Durango, a small village 25 miles
southwest of Mexicali, for some relief work. One of our
church members went there the day after the earthquake
to check on his parents. This village of 1,500 residents
was hit hard, with buildings destroyed and large pockets
of flooding (possibly from underground pools of water
that were disturbed by the quake). Many of the residents
are camping beside the road leading into town, and are
afraid to go back to their houses.
We are planning to make weekly trips on Saturdays,
bringing supplies and the love of God. If you are
interested in serving, please call the church office at
(714) 446-6222. Passports are necessary, so apply for
one now.
We are accepting canned goods that we will
take to Mexicali during our weekly trips. You can bring
these items to the church during service times and
business hours.
