Mexico Summer 2008





Friends and Family,

As many of you know, our family has been involved with humanitarian service trips to Mexico for the last few years. We plan to do another trip this summer during the month of June. We will be traveling to San Carlos, Mexico to work with children from a nearby orphanage called Ciudad de los NiƱos. We will be taking the children out of the orphanage for a summer camp experience. We will visit the beaches in San Carlos to snorkel, sea kayak, play in the sand, look for seashells, and enjoy the sunshine. It’s our goal to help the children have a memorable, positive childhood experience. We can only do this with your help.
If you have not made plans for your summer vacations this year, please consider helping us out. If you don’t think you would be able to help, please let your friends and family know about this project.
We will plan your trip through our nonprofit organization, Orphanage Support Services Organization Mexico (OSSOMEX). All lodging, meals, and activities are covered in the program fee. No Spanish is required to serve.
There will be 4 sessions available this summer for families and single volunteers. Each session will be one week long. You do not have to be there the whole month; however, there will be opportunities for Spanish speaking volunteers who would like to stay as OSSOMEX staff for the entre month.

Visit ossomex.org for detailed information about this project.

Come join us !


Jesse, Patty and kids

We will be there the whole month of June. On the web site there are the dates for the sessions. Each session is one week. Let me know if you have other questions we would love to have any family who would like to help us out.

Lisa, i forgot about that! are you going to spend bar studying time in Utah? I can't believe he is graduating this May! that is exciting- but i know it will be hard to feel completely done till he gets bar results.
Thanks for the info Jesse we will let you know
