This initiative finds simple ways to help people work together to improve and prosper their community.  Often, the answers are simple, for example: We gave a loan to Quimixto to underwrite their first annual “Surfing Contest”.  Commemorative T-Shirts and homemade sandwiches were sold.  It was a big success!  They repaid the loan and gave money back to community projects, such as their church building. The Mothers in one village volunteer their time to prepare the school lunches every week.  To thank them, we paid for a Fiesta on Mother’s Day. We helped a friend and Registered Nurse host a mini Medical Clinic for several months, where she advised parents and gave out medicine. A short-term Missions Team of young adults helped pour a cement floor for a Church.
