News From the Border

Providing the news from a different front but from a war that we must win as well! I recognize the poverty and desperate conditions that many Latinos live in. We, as the USA, have a responsibility to do as much as we can to reach out to aid and assist spiritually with the Gospel and naturally with training, technology and resources. But poverty gives no one the right to break the laws of another sovereign nation.

Blanket drive under way for poor Tijuana families

UNION-TRIBUNE

6:40 a.m. December 14, 2007

A nonprofit group that assists U.S. citizens who are injured in Mexico is conducting its annual blanket drive for needy families in Tijuana.

The Binational Emergency Medical Care Committee is collecting blankets at its office at 642 Third Ave., Suite I, Chula Vista. The blankets will be delivered in early January to residents of Tijuana's poorer neighborhoods.

Donations of nonperishable food items, toys or monetary donations with which to buy blankets also are being accepted. The organization also has been collecting donations recently for victims of the October wildfires. For more information, call the committee at (619) 425-5080. –L.B.

Opportunities like this exists up and down the border and are much needed!
