Aurora Michel reports that funds for the lake have reached 200,000 pesos and have been placed in trust. Two hundred thousand pesos is what it takes to open a trust fund and through different means of fund raising, that is exactly what is going to go into the bank in a well administered fund.
Education is such a key to getting out of poverty and Ninos Del Rio headed by Dr. Martha Nussgen provides that possibility for a lot of children. You can participate by sponsoring a child for a school year. It runs about a hundred and fifty dollars a year to send a child to elementary school. One of our locals makes purses and all sales are donated to aid Dr. Nussgen’s group. There are two types of Topaz purses. The small one is a “Disco” bag that fits snug and low on the hip and the other is a travel bag that is impervious to thievery and folds flat when not in use. Margaret Drewry was seen with one and Winnie Waddell was so taken with the purses, she bought several to use as gifts.
