About an hour east of Culiacan this small community in the mountains has a population of approximatey 60 persons with severe physical disabilities. It is not practical or humane to transport those individuals to Culiacan for the daily treatments needed. Instead, a group of parents sought permission to utilize an abandoned police station to establish a site. Here you see some of the families who came to show us what they are planning. They are going to work with the Tres Rios club to send parents to the Culiacan Pediatric Hospital and APEC for special training to follow through on the clinic recommendations made by professionals. After they have the site cleaned and do some remodel work, Tres Rios will be seeking support to equip this clinic for the community.
You might have noticed this is three proposed projects by only one club
This blog has focused on Tres Rios as that was what the photographer saw. The other clubs all had equivalent projects of a compelling nature. These clubs do a lot of things with their own time and money. It looks like we will be able to come here to work with our friends for years!
