- Children’s Christmas Play
- In 2006, we organized a Christmas play with the children from a DIF shelter, so that they could perform it in surrounding villages. We prepared the costumes, and rehearsed the songs and motions the kids would need to perform the story of Jesus’ birth.
- Christmas Posada for an orphanage
- We held our annual Christmas Posada at the city park in 2006. We asked people we had been in contact with throughout the year if they would like to buy a Christmas gift for a child in need. Each person or family picked a child that they wanted to sponsor, along the lines of a “secret Santa”.
- Grand Opening!
- A new movie theater was scheduled to open in our city, and the management asked us to help. They wanted to open with a free screening for local underprivileged children, but didn’t know how to go about it.
- Aid to Chiapas
- Chiapas, Mexico’s southernmost state, had been experiencing heavy rainfall for two weeks prior to Hurricane Stan, so rivers and dams overflowed when the storm hit, and many communities were destroyed.
