I just got back from one of the most incredible days of my life. Spent today in the Valle de Mexicali at the epicenter of the 7.2 earthquake. We had a stake bed truck full of food, water and supplies thanks to the San Felipe Lions Club, Javier Batiz and the generous people of San Felipe. Unbelievable devastation and ruin. These people are starving. We stopped at the "Delagado" of Venustiano Carranza (local municipal government) where the "Mayor"gave us a police unit escort to use (as our "scout") to the most needy and remote of villages. We were prepared for the terrain with 6 four wheel drive vehicles and we were glad to have them. We encountered the most amazing, resilient and beautiful people I have ever met. These are families of farm workers with no work, no money and no food. The smiling faces of the mothers, the fathers and the radiant eyes of the children disguise the horror of their experience. It was a truly moving
and emotional day. Kind of makes you glad to be alive!
