I need a southern Baja angel's help
So, there are a couple teens from La Bocana here in La Paz and they have some needs. Should you be able to help:
The girls have no hot water because some hose is missing on their outside water heater. If someone understands how these things work, lets coordinate
for a visit while their mom is here til next week. Two boys also need their water heater checked out. All 4 live within 2 blocks of each other in the
complex off od Camini Real here in La Paz.
Two of them are using busen burners. We need 2 used stoves donated.
2 of them could use some decent kitchen table chairs. And one of them needs a portable hanging closet. He has been living out of a suitcase since
August.
These are great kids and they are busting their buns in college. One will become an attorney, ne will become a marine biologist, 2 major in
international business.
Those are the most pressing items .... Obviously stove and heaters are the most important.
If you can cheer on or help, pls write. Otherwise, please dont rain on my parade (((:
BTW Ateo, your fridge did end up coming down to one of the guys and I have a pic of it. It is the hands down, the nicest thing in the apartment!
THANKS. Pics to come in a few days.

BajaBlanca ..........we need more like you.
Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.

Picture of the twins i. The middle, the gentleman on the left is Jaime Morales from Bahia Asuncion and he was the angel today. The girls' mom is next
to them. The 2 boys also got a lesson on how to set up the water heaters and were given the material to go do their own.
Teaching these kids how to fish.

And the woman on the far right is Jamie's wife, Elide Arce Aguilar. Those two are the more giving people around----they are the best.

Ateo, I know the feeling.......when I went over to visit, all the decorations around the house were from our house and it was really an odd feeling to
see my mirror of more than 20 years on the wall, my dishes in the sink etc.
They are in a good home now.

Blanca - we have a 2-burner camping stove that that you can have. It uses a small propane tank, but we don't have the tank - they would have to get
that. If that will work for you and the students let me know. U2U me or use regular email to figure out how to get it to them.

Nice to see the kids.
Glad school´s a success so far and their living issues are working out.
Keep on keeping on, jovenes!

I can be the pack mule
Blanca,
I'd be glad to run items down for you.
Arriving your place 11/06, after Asuncion.
And a few nights at Baja Linda's.
Arriving in La Paz 11/11 for the day, then turning back northward.
Here is the trip map JPG with details. Magenta is southbound. Green is northbound.
See you in a few weeks.
