One of the ministries we have the pleasure of serving are the comedors in Eastern Tijuana. In these neighbourhoods poverty is rampant and because of unemployment, abandonment and addictions, many kids are lacking good nutritious meals.Some of our local churches we work with have been working at feeding kids in these neighbourhoods. People from Alberta and Ontario have come alongside them and funded these worthy ministries.
Here are some pictures from Dolores' Feeding program in East Tijuana...
This is a typical house in the neighbourhood of squatter homes. Folks live in these dirt floor homes built from scrapwood along the railway tracks in East Tijuana.
This is the Kitchen part of the dining room--
Some of the 40+ kids who come for lunch 3 days a week. We are hoping to raise enough finances to offer food five days a week...
Dolores' Daughter making empanadas. Empanadas are like perogies made from Maseca (the flour you make corn tortillas from) and filled with meat and or cheese and deep fried. They put lettuce, sour cream and dry cheese on them. Today they ate these with macaroni and cheese and jamaica juice (juice made from Hibiscus flowers...)
If you are at all interested in helping out by partnering with these ministries please contact us!!
