Godparents Christmas Project
For the last several years a group of kind and loving folks in Chihuahua has organized a project that brings holiday gifts and much needed school and health supplies to the children of the Sierra Tarahumara. Every year more and more ‘Godfathers and Godmothers’ support the program and it has become a magical thing that the children are so very excited for. This year even more Sleds (trucks and trailers filled with gifts) will make there way to the Barrancas and distribute the joy and love to hundreds of young Raramuri kids. We are thankful for all those that support and coordinate these efforts and we are thankful for those that support True Messages such that it allows us to also contribute to this wonderful project of love. Korima is the greatest message of all!
