Update on the Amigos de los Californios Health Center
In December we included an article in the newsletter about Amigos de los Californios. For 20 years this nonprofit, volunteer group provided dental clinics for the communities in the Sierra de San Francisco in Baja. The final project for Amigos is to build a Health Center in San Francisco. We asked if anyone would be willing to contribute to this project. The response from DB members was overwhelming. Several of you are even giving monthly donations. Your generosity has enabled the construction of the Health Center to begin. I am delighted to report that the architect and construction workers are on site and work has commenced. The residents of San Francisco are beyond excited. I will keep you posted as the project progresses. The Center should be complete by the end of the year. Muchísimas gracias for all that this center will mean to our amigos in Baja.
