Message from FFHE Founder
This year promises to be an exciting year of celebration for Family to Family Humanitarian Expeditions (FFHE). We are celebrating our 7th year of offering humanitarian expeditions to Mexico.
Our featured destination this year is the beautiful, tropical, port city of Veracruz. Many different travel packages are available to meet the needs of those wishing to participate with us.
It’s hard to believe it has been seven years since our first expedition to Bermejillo, Mexico. Five of us participated in this initial expedition. We even paid the way for some of the participants to go so we could make sure the idea of taking people to Mexico for humanitarian work could be successful. During this first week, we were able to dig a septic tank and pour a cement floor for a bathroom. We lived with the Castañeda family and experienced the love and support of our newfound Latino friends.
From this humble beginning seven years ago, we have spread our humanitarian work and friendships to many different areas: Ensenada, Casas Grandes, Gomez Palacio, Zihuatanejo, Monterrey, Torreón, La Misión, and Roma Texas, Mexico. Last year, hundreds of participants helped with many different projects including: building homes, bathrooms for schools, pouring cement floors for many individual families, working on government buildings, and helping at orphanages and senior citizen centers. We provided hundreds of pounds of donated items for the poor in impoverished areas. We also participated in teaching education classes to Church and government organizations, individual families, and groups within different communities. These classes varied from first aid, hygiene and newborn training, English and music classes to paper airplanes, jewelry making, and firesides. We provided medical assistance at a free clinic in La Misión.
This year promises to be as outstanding as last year. Because of difficult economic times, trips are organized to be as affordable as possible. Veracruz is our featured destination because of its beauty, safety, and humanitarian needs. We have developed a close partnership with the government in both the state and city of Veracruz, as well as with Church and community leaders. This will allow us to reach out to those in need of our help.
We are grateful to those who have participated with us over the past seven years. Thank you for your love and support. Please join us this year in celebrating the opportunity to strengthen individuals and families through love and service!
Gratefully,
Kendon
