One of the interesting facts about this video is that Fernanda was playing the recorder two years ago when we visited. Bruce Jamison played his flute for her and purchased 8 recorders on Ebay for the home. The day that the children's play was presented when Fernanda played the part of narrator / flautist, was a most special event! The performance was held at the "Casa de Cultura" in downtown Reynosa. Several groups of students and young children from the area attended. The performance was dedicated to Casa Hogar MAMi. I asked why and was told that, first of all, Fernanda is dearly loved, and secondly, they had to get special permission from social services for her to participate. Also, they presented this play for competition in either Monterrey or Ciudad Victoria, I am not sure of the details. It was truly a special event in the life of the girls at Casa MAMi. They are supportive of each other in a very sweet and beautiful way! God's love is most visible in the home!

Also, worth explaining, is that the Mexican board and ministry, MAMi AC, have a number of additional ministries developing. Casa MAMi MX continues to be primarily committed to the home (residential care) and keeping the good staff by providing for that funding. (It has been very challenging for the past 10 months.) The additional ministries include: day care, Kindergarten, women's conferences, supporting a local pastor who ministers weekly to the home and transports the girls to his church, an additional location for abandoned mothers and sons, and the possibility of establishing a ministry to a local factory where 500 workers have children ages 1-6; this would be a day care with a Christian education program for children and parents.

If you would like to learn more about these ministries let us hear from you!! There is a Spanish website that talks about these other ministries: www.casamami.org
