In 2009 over 600 food items and over 1,000 household good items were crossed in to Juarez, Mexico. Itis becoming more difficult to cross because of the internal problems Mexico is presently ex- eriencing. Soldiers are every- Where and check points are set up through out the city. We have been protected by God and have not been caught up in any dangerous situations. Please continue in prayer and supplication for us. In February an urgent call came from Torreon, Mexico dealing with the property where the dining faci!- ity is located. The city needed to speak to the president of De Mano ‘a Mano to make sure the require- ment was being met that the facility was being used more than once a week. At that time the children were being feed only on Saturdays be- ‘cause the kitchen was not com= pleted and they needed money to buy the eating utensils. ROOT In- ‘ternational provided the money to buy 100 plastic plates, cups and ‘commercial size pots, a blender and other needed supplies. Money ‘was also provided to build a cinder block wall around the dining facility ‘A second trip was made in March to see the finished work. A gate stil needs to be added but this will cost ‘around $400.We need your help to keep the dining facility open 4 times. ‘a week, $80 a month will doit.

Becky held two days of teacher training and she was able to provide the teach- ers with some supplies and a large ‘writing tablet. Each teacher also received enough supplies for each student. 205 zip look bags filled with school supplies were collected and prepared in PA. Your financial support made this possible. ‘April seemed to arrive quickly and we began preparing for the day of the child. This day is celebrated all over Mexico and in some European countries. Every year ROOT Inter- national supports the pastors of De Mano a Mano and the dining facili- ties by providing a Pinata, food, drink, and a cake. When possible De Mano a Mano solicits help from the local businesses and receives yogurt and candies. In March we Could see that things looked bleak as fat as being able to provide the usual things, but as always God stepped in, and through the help of Charles and Judy Dillon and their Poe ministry we were able to make it a special time for the children. Thanks to Albertsons, a local super Market in El Paso, (you will get ‘more details when you read about our trip to Louisiana), ROOT Inter- national was given enough candy to fill over 500 plastic Easter eggs. Through the help of my husband, ‘Art Vogan, my mother, Ruth Endlich, my friend, Virgina Omelas, and myself, Becky Vogan, we pre- pared 8 boxes for the dining facili- ties and the pastors of De Mano @ Mano. Each box contained packets of candy, toys paint sets, beads and other small trinkets. Also each Pastor was given a pifiata. Again, much thanks to all who made this possible, We would also like to thank Donny and Barbra Halbge- wack, who have their own ministry, The Least of These, in Juarez and who have become members of De Mano a Mano, providing cookies, chips, and the sound system for ‘one of the dining facilities in Kilo- ‘metro 30. They live in that area and need your prayers for protection as they work daily among the people.
