Tragic Fire - Thank you and Update

[Jzmackenzie]

Friends of Education, Opportunity, and Equality,

This is a ?Thank You? all for your generous donations of time, money, recycled items, and/or emotional support. On behalf of our indigenous neighbors who lost their home February 18th to a grass fire. We thank each of you for realizing that

Education + Opportunity = Self-Sufficiency.

Our mission in Central Mexico is to empower Mexicans here to find work here. We are doing everything in our power to educate and find opportunities to enable self-sufficiency and overcome hopelessness. Last month, one of our neighbors left for the USA to cross illegally. Minutes before he left our village, Jolene and I begged him to visit our friend Martha Roberts to obtain a legal visa; he did not. Now, he is in detention in the USA. His family is worse off then before he left to find work.

Every one of you who has mailed a letter for us, sent us a donation, made a positive comment to another or back to us, or handed us some item to recycle is making the USA and Mexican economy more stable. We are emotionally empowering, and physically rewarding those who keep their kids in school and their parents working in Mexico.

Understand this: each dollar or recycled item you donate is like a brick in a wall; you make our world a better place to live. You help the hopeless to have the confidence to walk taller and provide for their own families. We see the difference here every day because of YOU.

Education + Opportunity = Self-Sufficiency
