Can you concentrate
when your stomach
is growling?


Half of Mexico's 107 million people continue to live at or below poverty. Malnutrition now afflicts 40-65% of the population, with the worst cases found in the impoverished Indigenous communities, where it approaches 85%.

Studies done in local school districts of Mexico have uncovered a malnutrition problem that manifests itself with restless, inattentive students. 30% of students show signs of malnutrition.
YUGO Ministries has set up breakfast feeding programs in various areas of Tijuana, Ensenada and Mexicali so the children can go to school and concentrate on learning rather than questioning where their next meal will come from.


Various individuals and groups take part in bringing food to be cooked and served at feeding programs and orphanages. Other groups and individuals have adopted feeding programs as projects and send in financial donations so food items can be purchased and served to the children. All donations are taxable. If you are interested please feel free to contact us. We can be reached at our US # 619-446-6929 or CDN # 780-628-2415 or e-mail hoopleshideaway@juno.com

Hi Cheryl, Great to hear from you.
Chris & Erin's church have a bunch of blankets and things for the Mexicans. They didn't know the trailor transporting the donations had left in Feb. Is there any other way to get them there? Let us know & we'll do what we can. It's great to hear that your aunts and parents came out to help. What a joyful time it must have been. Our prayers are with all of you. Love Colette
