Youth Servant Events to Mexico
1997 - 1998 - 1999


1997

     Our first Mexico Servant Event was spent working on the Medical Clinic at Anapra, a poor community that sprang up on the desert west of Ciudad Juarez.  Most of the homes were constructed of old shipping pallets, covered with cardboard, plastic, and tar paper.
     We built interior walls in the clinic, constructed a roof connecting the clinic and the pastor's residence, and built playground equipment for the neighborhood children.
     The highlight of the event was the decision to sponsor a young boy, Luis, in his secondary education.

1998

     The 2nd Servant Event was again spent in Anapra, where we laid ceramic floor tile in the medical clinic we had helped construct the year before.  On the final day we returned to the Ysleta Lutheran Mission in El Paso where we constructed an addition to the tool and equipment shed on the mission grounds.

1999


     Our third Servant Event had the smallest number of participants to date, but the group was so committed that some of them have returned on most of the subsequent servant event trips.
     This trip was devoted to a number of projects at different locations.  We helped construct a new outside bathroom for a poor family in the San Francisco barrio; painted the interior and exterior of the home where Pastor Hernandez was living; constructed a brick entrance portico to the Santisima Trinidad Church; helped tear off a roof and install a new one on the home of one of the mission volunteers; and worked on the electrical and cooling systems at the Ysleta Lutheran Mission in El Paso.
