Although we arrived a day late into Queretaro we still managed to help out the Salvation Army for the better part of a day.  A young hardworking couple and their baby girl have set up here and run a lunch time and homework tuition programme for the local kids.  They were also inundated during December with donations of clothing, electronics,toys and odds and ends that required sorting out.  We started the job but there is still more to be done …… anyone available?  We would like to thank Captains Rosa and Jonathan Mojica for welcoming us in on such short notice and to Silvia (our host) for translating our initial call to them to arrange our visit.

    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.
