Mexico

World Impact Network linked hands with Holland America to bless those in need in Ensenada, Mexico. Recently, one of Holland America's ships received new bedspreads, which meant they had to get rid of the used ones. World Impact Network was able to receive these goods and distribute them.

A few weeks later, Holland America had some used deck furniture that ended up in San Diego with no real home. One of our contacts who works with the Oaxacan Trique Indians near Ensenada, Mexico was able to pick-up the furniture. It was distributed to families who live at the edge of a garbage dump in houses made of cardboard and tarps. They have no furniture whatsoever. The deck furniture was an incredible blessing to them. Even the chaise lounges were used as beds for children. WIN and Holland America's partnership continues to turn goods that would have become landfill into blessings for those who are truly in need.

Letter from Mexico

Thank you for allowing us the privilege of sharing the cruise deck chairs, lounges, and tables with the Oaxacan Indian farm laborers. They were delighted! For many, it was their very first chair and/or bed. Most people sleep on dirt floors and sit only on buckets for lack of furniture. We brought in four truck loads of furniture. Thank you for your continued assistance and prayers.

With Love in Christ, Diane Mebust
