This is a charity
project that I am involved in, with the purpose of
assisting our neighbors who live |
|
south of the
border. It started with the initial goal of delivering
some much needed emergency services |
|
vehicles (Police
Cars, Ambulance, Fire Engine) and related supplies, to
the small town of Ayutla, Jalisco |
|
located in the
mountains, about half way between Guadalajara and Puerta
Vallarta. |
|
|
|
We are teamed with
Crime
Stoppers of Tacoma/Pierce County
in these efforts. |
|
|
|
We made our first
trip down in Sept. of 2007, with 3 police cars, 1
ambulance and a support van, and it was a |
|
huge success. The
Fire engine was delivered in Oct. of 2008 with the
assistance of the US Air Force. |
|
|
|
We are now planning
another trip, which will hopefully include another 6
police cars, 2 ambulances, |
|
a handicap bus, and
another fire engine, destined for other towns and
villages nearby Ayutla. |
|
In the near future,
we hope to be able to expand our efforts into other
areas of assistance, such as computer |
|
labs for the
schools, and other non-emergency related civic projects. |
|
|
|
These are difficult
and expensive tasks, but very much needed by these
poorer towns in Mexico. If you'd |
|

There you can see more details, |

stories of our trips, and get information on how you can
participate or help. |
