One thing I have been working on with the local officials is I am really getting concerned about the possibility of Cholera and Danga Hemorrhagic
fever getting started here. the Gov has promised to spray the town an vaccinate all the children.

Looking for a school to adopt
Thanks, David K, I am here finally.
I have talked w the local school here in Oregon (rural-250 total kids) and with my help they would like to do something for a school affected by
Hurricane John to help. I am thinking that if Comondu or San Javier took hits that school size would be similar to what these kids could relate to
(and raise funds for). I will keep in touch with friends in Loreto and I am hoping they hear something soon from the remote ranchos so we can get
this project started. ANYONE who might know of teachers/parents in any of these schools who can be contacted-I am all ears!!
Over the past 30 yrs I have done presentations for kids at this school on my Baja trips everything from history and ecology to the crazy stories of
riding el camino real w my own boys. I am hoping people can come up w more info as to what schools need.
ANYONE who wants to see about "adopting" a class or school I'd love to hear from you. I want to get this ball rolling!!!!

Rotario Club info from Julieta
we rec'd this email from Julieta yesterday. Attached is also the Rotary Club bank account info for donations. FYI. We are headed down in early
October from the Bay Area if anyone wants to contact us to bring down supplies &/or donations. We've got a truck. We live in Petaluma CA. God
bless~take good care! Susan & Jim Ravina
Dear Friends....
As you probably already know Hurrican John has hit Baja, Mulege town was the one who got hurt the most, there is a HUGE NEED for water, food,
clothes, medicine, etc. My self in coordination with the Rotary Club in Santa Rosalia are trying to raise some funds, we are asking you for you
cooperaton to help this community they are with out water, electricity totally incomunicated, most the families (Mexican and Amercans) lost what they
had...
I am enclosing the rotary club bank account informaton (pesos account) and my dollars account as well, any help you can provide the community of
Mulege will be VERY VERY GREATFUL, unfortunatelly wire transfers are expensive 30 dlls on your side and 20 on the Mexican account, perhaps if you make
groups and then just make one single transfer will be easier...
We are also helping the very poor comunities up in the mountains who had a lot of damage to and also some people got killed, they also have a big
Of course if you can't send money we will also appreciate supplies... I know some of you have airplanes and could bring goods from the US... I am
trying to check which aristrip is available I wil keep you inform.
Beleive me Mulege is totally devasted and AND WE GOT TO HELP...
** If you are going to send money down, please inform me so I can keep track of the funds
Sincerely
Julieta Medina

If you are bringing things in for relief. please check with the fire dept. or some one that has been working with the disaster from the start before
you start handing out things. there has been much mishandling of this proses here and if you are not careful you will start a riot or could get hurt.
the first 100 people in line will be ones that did not suffer any damage. the fire dept. along with us and some others are keeping track of who is in
need of what.

up date I saw a truck load of red cross workers driving through town yesterday they were in there clean whit uniforms. I hope they find something to
do.
the people at the rehab facility seem to have pulled all of there beggars out after several people told them very firmly that what they were doing was
inappropriate.

Baja Buckaroo- As seen in the photos on previous page, the high school in Mulege was up tot heir armpits in water & mud. There is a volunteer
crew helping to clean it out but they will need to restock the library, new computers, etc. The flooded-out kids will individually need notebooks,
and all the usual school supplies. Some may have lost the uniforms & shoes we purchased for them over the summer (see below). Also, there is a
primary school right next door on essentially the same property (haven't seen photos, but the situation has to be the same). If you are interested in
adopting either of those schools, contact me at Mike at Fleming dot cc (not dot com). My wife & I are Directors of a scholarship program in
Mulege (see www.msspi.org). We have a directors meeting in about 3 hours to strategize. All help is appreciated. And thanks for thinking of these kids.

more enthusiasm we'll get from the kids. I will also try to email you but yr addy looks greek to my computer-illiterate mind! (Now put me on a mule

I just talked to Julieta this afternoon and she indicates that the small school at Agua Agueda is in dire straits. This is a small school that is
also a boarding school for the ranch children who spend the week at school and go home, if possible, on weekends. No one has been able to get to San
Jose De Magdelena as of yet to see what their school condition is yet and I have not heard any reports from San Javier.
