Dear Friends of Saint Charles
Caritas, Charity on the Border:
Greetings to all!
Last Saturday, Feb. 9th was a wonderful day for all
the volunteers. These volunteers were the angels of
mercy. They worked hard to prepare, cooked and
served hundreds of plates of spaghetti/hot-dogs,
juices and cake for the orphan children, 2 home for
girls and home for the elderly at the Casa de Cuna.
The children sung several songs of prayers and
thanked and hugged us. We did not expect being
hugged by the children. We were all delighted by
their appreciations and some of us had teary eyes.
Volunteers were from Oceanside, Escondido, North
Park, Coronado, Chula Vista, Imperial Beach & San
Ysidro: Michael Ross, Margie Benzie & Susan Fields,
Mary Wilson, Jack Stroh, April Stewart, Beth Wellner,
Belia Ocampo, Marena Vera, Lupe Zamora & Elain Rechs.
February 16 & 17, Saturday
