December 13th trip

We are committed to go on Saturday, December 13th.

The trip will be sponsored by Medical Support International (MSI). As of this date, Saddleback Church still has a hold on trips to Mexico.

I have heard that there are concerns for safety on our trips. I think I can address this issue from 10 years of travel to Tijuana, Ensenada, and Independencia. I think that our trips are very secure due to the following reasons:

1) We travel with a large goup with a Mexican national driving a Mexican bus company (Bajarama).

2) We travel through Tijuana at a very early hour (usually before 6:00 am) and spend only the time it takes to travel through Tijuana and do not linger or wander through areas shopping, eating and drinking.

3) Our bus driver is usually Pancho who has driven the route with us many times.

4) We do not linger in any large city, only the time that is required to get to our destination or back home. We travel only on major roads or highways.

Please reassure any potential volunteers that our trips are safe and secure.

RSVP and check payable to Saddleback Church for $ 65.00 to:
