Crafts and Things

Linda who plans to come down possibly in August when we return would love for us to have some sewing machines for the women to use for some of the craft work she would like to teach the ladies to help them earn money for their families.

Things we need donated this month

Sheri is in the states up until August the 3rd. This time she needs to drive down to Mexico as we have already had many things donated. In other words she will be able to carry things across that normally one cannot take down on the plane. Here is a list of a few things we could use right away.

Vegetable seeds = already donated by Watters Nursery, Prescott, Arizona

We need new and used garden tools for gardening within a large greenhouse.

Construction tools = things like hammers, saws, levels, etc
A chain saw to cut down trees = Paid for! Money given by an Agape Mission Project supporter.

3/4 ton truck to haul lumber, cement and other building supplies, etc. Donated by a friend of Damian's. A Red 3/4 ton Ford 1992.

Mechanic tools for the ministry vehicles. Also always will need short term mechanics who can come down and take care of the vehicles and teach some of the guys who have been released from prison this trade.

Camping tents for temporary housing for the families of the prisoners. Since this jungle area is very hot they need a lot of ventilation with large zip up screens. They also need to be waterproof as we do get torrential rains. We do have a few we can use from our Youth Campground in La Loma Esperanza, Lachiguiri.

Also we are looking for a donated travel trailer or 5thwheel. We will have spaces to park RV's for those who want to come down for short term trips to help with projects.


Electricity is expensive in Mexico and we are looking at a variety of alternatives. One would be Solar Lites. I found them at a number f places you can buy building supplie in the United States costing $140 dollars and up. We can use these in many areas. Would love to take a few with us when we head back in August.
