A few pictures of a trip I took last November to Ensenada, Mexico. My friend Paul Holman of Gettin' Off 4x4 club and I participated in an event called Love East Bay www.loveeastbay.com and we used Paul's trailer to take a prefabbed loft home to a family of 3 outside Ensenada and get them a real start in life working with an organization called "Hands of Mercy." www.handsofmercy.com
To make a long story short, Paul and I want to go again for our April 2 Love East Bay and we want NAXJA to be involved, but only if a significant number of you guys are interested. We can easily include SoCal guys as well. The initial "Pre-Build" the house takes place in San Leandro on April 1&2. The prefabbed house is then trailered for transport to Mexico with everything we need to put it together. The total cost of the house is $3,000 and would be split between the churches involved and the participants in the build. The cost to stay at the camp in Mexico is $250. So I am figuring it would cost $300-350 plus gas to go (Date would probably be a weekend in May). There is no cost to be involved in the pre-build in April.
There is nothing like the feeling of building that house and handing the keys to a struggling family. I think the club could get some great publicity for this or magazine exposure. I am sure we are all tired of the exposure our sport usually gets.
Then, of course, we can wheel Baja after the build as long as we want and/or can afford.
What do you guys think?
