We had a great day here in the San Luis Potosi Salvation Army, where Raul and his wife run an Orphanage for approximately 30 children.  At the time, his niece and her husband were here helping out as well.  We got to have some fun with the kids, playing football and on the playground and sharing meals with them.  In the afternoon we helped moved many donated clothes (that were taking up space in the office) to the garage.  We also extended their washing line and put up a tarp to keep the contents in the garage dry.  There are many dedicated staff working here and the children are very well cared for and loved.  Thank you to Raul and his team for making us feel very welcome.

We also had a surprise appearance by Spiderman!

Hey
Where are the pictures of SPIDERMAN? I think you need your side kick BATMAN to come along and save the day... but then I might flatten big bird's tyre!

    Volunteer work with the Salvation Army

    Part of what we wish to accomplish over the next year is not only the cycling, but also giving back to the communities which we will pass through. 

    When we hit a town that has Salvation Army services, we offer our hands-on help for a day or two in the hope of encouraging the regular volunteers and also providing some relief in the volume of work that is demanded of them.

    We chose the Salvation Army because they are well respected, give practical help to those that are in need and they are also situated throughout Pan-America.

    We feel very priviledged to be associated with this hardworking organisation.   We hope that the work we do (albeit small) will be of some worth and also raise awareness of all the good work the Salvation Army does for others.
