New Article about the Mission appears in "Company" magazine.Dear Friends
For those of you who haven't seen it, I thought
you all might be interested in a magazine article recently published in
Company, the magazine of the Jesuits in the US. For those of you who have a
hardcopy, or are mailing copies around, I wanted you to know it is now on line
at
http://www.companymagazine.org/v193/loveofapeople.htm
For those of you who haven't seen it, I wanted
you to be aware of it - it has some of Father Luis's best photos (the cover of
the magazine, front and backspread, was a beautiful photo of his and
unfortunately the on-line version can't do it justice) and a fairly concise
summary of the Father and the Mission's work here, and can be sent to people
if you are trying to explain who and what we are to someone who is unfamiliar
with us. We are sincerely indebted to Charlotte Leas of the North Las Vegas
Rotary Club District 5300, (who has been extremely active down here over the
past 2 years - and incidentally,she was originally brought down here by
another very active Rotarian, Ted Holder, District 5730 in Levelland, TX) for
making the connection with Martin McHugh, editor of Company, telling him about
the Mission Tarahumara and sending him some samples of Father's photos.
Charlotte did such a good job Mr. McHugh decided to make it the cover story,
and here it is - he was also kind enough to send us 100 hard copies, gratis.
We have gotten quite a few e-mails in response to the article, from readers
across the country, offering supplies, donations, volunteers, schools looking
for work projects, retailers who distribute indigenous handicrafts in the US -
a whole variety of responses. We are extremely grateful to Charlotte and
Marty McHugh for educating more people about the Tarahumara, because with this
education comes respect, admiration, and support. AND Mr. McHugh was so
inspired by the Mission's work he swears to me
www.giveaminute.org is his homepage!
As always, thanks to all of you
Sincerely,
Sandy
