Aftermath of the Mexicali Earthquake
This photo was taken on a recent trip to Puerto Peñasco, where Amor works with local pastors to provide resources for families in need. It is a tent city made up of families who lost homes in the recent earthquake that shook Baja and California. Aid is slow in coming to these people and they have little to nothing to eat or drink. Pastors from our Baja Ministry Planning Board took a trip to the Mexicali area and brought with them 14 water filters to give to churches in the area. The churches are now able to make sure people have clean drinking water.
In late March, I helped build an Amor house for Jaime and Maria Chavez Escobar in the Maclovio Rojas community. They said they had a daughter who was studying at a seminary in Mexicali. Two days after we completed the build, the earthquake hit. I did not get back to see Jaime and Maria. I'm wondering how their daughter and the seminary fared, but I don't have names for her or the seminary. Can anyone provide info or clues?
