Right To Write Ministry : Cozumel, Mexico

We arrived in Cozumel, Mexico a few weeks ago. While much of our time here in Mexico will be personal, we knew that we wanted to share some school supplies with some children here on the island.

So, this week we spent time preparing to distribute what may be the largest amount of school supplies so far. We have learned of an area on the island where there is no power, no running water and no sanitation systems... There are also hundreds of children who don't see much of Santa at Christmas...

We have learned that Santa will be visiting these kids on Saturday morning. Shelley and I enlisted the help of a few of Santa's elfs and have prepared more than 200 gifts of school supplies.... The ladies from our church made a whole bunch of beautiful pencil cases, but there wasn't enough, so we purchased some nice plastic bags and some ribbon and were able to make up the number we need (hopefully)... Sadly, no matter how many we make, it won't be enough....

The good news is that all the staff at Papa Hogs were more than willing to help put our gifts together...
There is no reason not to have fun...
