Youth/Adults Attending Brethren Workcamp in Reynosa, Mexico

Four youth and two adults from our church will be attending a Church of the Brethren workcamp in Reynosa, Mexico, August 2-9, 2008.  They will be workig in a community orphanage in Reynosa.  Children's Haven International provides housing and a stable living envirtonement for thirty five children in Reynosa.  Our youth will live, eat and work at the home and privde extra love and attention for the children.  Service work will also involve light construction and maintenance of the facility, as well as outreach projects in the city of Reynosa.  Church of the Brethren organizers have requested each particiapant donate twin bed sheet sets.  There are 500 children in the area who would benefit from new bedding.  If you would like to donate a new wtin sheet set or money to purchase sheets, a box will be placed in the nathex for collection.  Due to airline baggage fees, it woul dbe helpful if some folks would consider donation money so the team can buy sheets once they arrive in Texas.
