San Matias Atzala, May 2010

A team of eight traveled to San Matias Atzala, a small community near Puebla, Mexico in May. We were joined by many local church members, all intent on improving their Methodist Church building. With our help and with money donated by Wesley members and friends, wonderful things took place during the time we spent there. We painted, and the church began the process of adding a structure by digging holes and erecting rebar for columns. Some of us organized some children's activities focusing on Bible Stories. While all this was taking place, our medical team saw almost 200 patients. Unfortunately over 35% of the adults seen suffer from diabetes, so there is great need for health services in San Matias. A local dentist was available for 2 days and treated many of the community. A highlight of the trip was our visit to the local Methodist Old Folks home, where we presented residents with lap blankets made by Wesley Women. Thanks to everyone for your support and prayers!

Tatoxcac, November 2009

The group traveled to Tatoxcac, a small village about five hours from Mexico City, and provided free medical services at the Buen Samaritan Clinic, which was built by Methodist Church work groups from the United States. Doctors, nurses and other medical providers work for four days at the clinic, seeing approximately 500 adults and children each year. One other village is also visited for three days each year. We are able to purchase medications at a very reduced rate from MAP International, a Christian organization dedicated to providing low cost medications for those in need throughout the world. The team also provided Bible School activities for the children, who sometimes are waiting all day with their parents to see a medical provider.
