Villahermosa, Tobasco, MX 7/21-7/29

Next adventure is just three weeks away - Hope Haven West is scheduled to provide more than 220 wheelchairs (again - mostly kids) to the disabled poor in Villahermosa.

Hope Haven Kids chairs are being assembled by our Rotary partners in Villahermosa as this is being written. Flights have been purchased - All arrangements for our team are complete. Now - we just need the team!

Presently there are nine volunteers signed up to assist with this project. I am angling for at least another five Mohicans (I’ll even take the last one) to jump on the bus.

Not going to sugar coat this one folks. Villahermosa is most likely not at the top of your bucket list of places to see before you die (this one is about the kids)! I can guarantee hot and humid conditions (in the 90’s) with daily thunderstorms and high humidity (why aren’t we headed here in January)?

We will eat well, be treated like kings by our Rotary Hosts, receive accolades and praise (also, abundant prayers and blessings) from mothers, abuela’s and caregivers as chairs are distributed and fitted to those lacking mobility.

Gives you an opportunity to test that old adage: “It is more blessed to give than to receive” - prove me wrong, dare ya!

Just supposing that you are one of my “five Mohicans” who heed the call. Let no grass grow, this sucker is breathing down on us quick (less than three weeks before liftoff). Shoot me a quick email today and I will get you information regarding our schedule and flight itinerary.

Waging Heavy Peace,

Uncle Lonny
