Casa Hogar Faces a Different Mexico

Over the past three years Casa Hogar Mami has been quietly deal-

ing with the violence that has enveloped Reynosa. Mission groups

are cutting their Mexico traveling, donations have suffered, and

most of all the children have suffered.

Currently the school the children attend has 15 teachers for 700

students. Bullying is rampant. Their learning is minimalized and

the children are confused. Cartel members hang out around the

school watching for future prospects into their gangs. Life is differ-

ent for Casa Hogar Mami as well as all the other orphanages along

the border. It’s a new time and it calls for new ideas and new pro-

grams to care for the safety for the children. The good news is

Casa Hogar is working hard by researching new programs, search-

ing for new donors, and developing a new awareness of their situ-

ation.

In this issue you’ll see what we’re doing to combat the difficulties

and to develop stronger and healthy children…...

Not too pretty to look at now, but this is the gate that leads to a home located next to Casa

Hogar Mami and purchased through an anonymous donor for Casa Hogar. With building

funds that are donated through a Reynosa Fundraiser, this property, to be named “Casa

Sara”, will be a new blessing for Casa Hogar and its endeavors to serve the impoverished

difficult yet inspiring job.

Who is Casa M.A.Mi MX?

When you see infor-mation coming from

Casa Mami Mx, know that you are in good

hands! Casa Mami Mx is the U.S. side of sup-porters for Casa Hogar Mami. In order to give you tax receipts and to facilitate donations and

grant monies, it was necessary to have a

U.S. Non-profit board to over see Casa Hogar.

Each month, Casa Mami Mx meets in McAllen , Tx to discuss budget, programs, problems and needs for the or-

phanage. 100% of every dollar donated to Casa Mami Mx goes directly to the care and feeding of the children of Casa

Hogar Mami.

Thanks to the many churches, organizations and the generosity of

so many people, Casa Mami is able to provide housing, a variety

of programs, friendships and loving support to give children a

head start in life.
