My first outreach like this was when I was sixteen. A team of us from our church teen group went to Tijuana and built a small maternity hospital. It is because of the lack of resources that the death rate of mothers during pregnancy, newborns and young children was and still is very high there. My answer is simply that when people return home from one of these adventures to a third world country, they often become more aware of what is happening around them and tend to get involved where they are needed. All individuals, families and communities benefit.

God bless you. Gracias y Hasta Pronto. Thanks and I look forward to talk to you again in next month's issue of the Joshua Tree Times.
