Dear Manos volunteers and supporters. Manos Con Alas Ministries has had a
productive year serving in Tijuana and Rosarito since moving our equipment
and vehicles to the Popotla area over a year ago. We have had three major
outreach clinics with Calvary Chapel Rosarito, and one dental and eye
clinic with the Playas Del Rosarito chapter of the Flying Samaritans. In
addition we gave away over 130 gift bags to the senior center Hogar Para
Los Ancianos El Rufugio, as well as donating a 60 inch commercial cooking
range on Oct 31 to El Refugio. We could not have accomplished all this
work without YOU the present and past volunteers, and out USA stay home
GIVERS.
The range we donated in conjuction with the Rotary Club of
Sierra Madre has pretty much tapped all our small reserves for 2014, but
that is what being a NON-profit is all about, When you could see the 143
seniors that will benfit instantly from the stove, it warms your heart in
that GIVING away what we have in faith so that more will be provided as
others abundantly give.
We run a low budget ministry of less
than 10K annually. NO paid employees, NO paid accounting thanks to the
time gift of Brian and Laurel Russell, and most of our volunteers mission
fees cover what is costs us to send them into the Baja mission field. We
are SMALL BUT MIGHTY as my friends in Sierra Madre Rotary say about the
club.
If your 2014 budget allows for any
year end charitable giving, I hope you will consider a gift of ANY size to
this ministry, as 90% of what you donate will be sent into the field in
Baja buying prescription eyewear, insuring our Mexico car fleet,
reimbursing avgas for volunteer pilots with planes that spend 2-3 times in
plane upkeep costs over and above the fuel, and other neeed items. Without
the ease of flying to and from Mexico, it would be a bigger energy output
burden for out doctors and be a disincentive for future trips to always sit
in a 3 hour plus border line.
Your gift of $500 or more will
give you the optional gift of a breakfast or lunch flight in the SO Cal
area for up to 4 people (or 600 lbs of total weight) as a gift from Dr
Bud.
Thank you for allowing us to serve in Mexico with all you
have done for us.

brothers, none goes his way alone,

lives of others, comes back into our own. Edward Markham
