84 - The Terrace Standard, Wednesday, April 5, 2000 Local missionaries help out in Mexico CONTRIBUTED HAVING SPENT the fall of 1998 and the spring of 1999 doing missionary work in California, central China and Mexico, Jamie and Caro! Laird are heading back to Mexico April 7. This time they are taking 20 others from Terrace with them to work at an orphanage and share the love of God. All 22 of them are volunteering for a week to help out in whatever capacity is needed. Their duties could in- clude working a baby nursery, sorting donated supplies, mending children’s clothes, doing laundry, cooking, building, painting, assisting in the medical/dental clinic or working in the macadamia nut orchard, just to name a few. - ae In addition to the work al thé orphanage, team mem- bers will join-a local team of workers: who spend the afternoons in the villages. These workers round up vil- lage children and hand out milk.and peanut. butter as a protein supplement: to their already meagre diet. The orphanage, called “Hogar Para Los Ninos”, (Home for Children) is located-in Vicente Guerrero, on the Baja about seven hours south of Tijuana, Mexico. The area is close to the Pacific Ocean and home to many labor camps. These ‘camps are full of people whe work 12 hours a day picking vegetables for very litile pay. The conditions in the camps are very poor. Team members will spend several evenings bringing food, clothing and toys to people in the camps. While there, they also look for those who require medical attention. Those requiring medical assistance can be treated by the medical staff at the orphanage. A trip like this is always two-fold. You go ta provide help to those less fortunate, but while you are there, it is your own view of life that changes. You begin to look at your environment and situation in a totally new way. The Lairds found this to be very true of their own fa- mily when travelling abroad. Apart from their own lives being changed, they noticed their children were greatly affected in a positive.way while they were working at the particular orphanage. They are trusting that the lives of all those going with them this time will be greatly im- pacted. The team will be limiting the amount of personal lug- gage they are taking so that they can take several extra suitcases of donated items for the orphanage. They have been fundraising to defer their costs of the trip as well as purchase items needed at the orphanage. They wish to thank all the individuals as well as Lakelse Dental Clinic and Shoppers Drug Mart for the donated items. The Lairds are planning another trip to the orphanage in October of this year, so they are continuing to look for individuals or businesses who are willing to donate items for them to take along. 125 billets needed THE INVESTORS Group is asking locals to open their homes for 125 cast members, aged 17 to 25, expected for the “Up with People” concert May 6 at the Terrace Arena. Billets are needed from May 4-7.
