CUPS is
still very much alive and is continuing its essential ministry. As we
continue to miss Louise's passion and leadership, we are constantly
reminded of the legacy she left behind. A legacy of courage and
caring for our neighbors in need across the border. For the past few
months, the CUPS board of directors has been diligently working to
carry on this legacy. We have engaged Fidencio Perez, a long time
CUPS staff member and supporter, to help with donation distribution
and project supervision in northeastern Mexico. He will be assuming
many of the duties that Louise performed in Mexico.
With
Fidencio's leadership, we have already distributed most of the
remaining donations and have completed three projects started by
Louise.
School supplies delivered to children
The roof at
the Carolina Balboa USAER was repaired, the classroom at the Saul
Aguilar Primaria school was replaced and a much needed shelter for
holding meetings at the health clinic in Empalme was recently
completed. Louise would have been so proud that these projects were
finished.
Shelter
at Empalme Centro de Salud completed
Fidencio
will continue to identify needy recipients for donated materials and
make the deliveries to them as well as scope out additional project
work for consideration.
Your
support is still needed and appreciated. Donations can be coordinated
with regional representatives by clicking on the Donation Locations
link. The journey continues.
