A Letter from the Chairman Project Mexico & St Innocent Orphanage

I begin this letter with a heart full of gratitude and appreciation for your unwavering support of our mission. Your commitment to Project Mexico and St. Innocent Orphanage (PMSIO) has had a profound impact on the lives of countless individuals, and I want to express my heartfelt thanks.

With your help, we’ve been able to bring many of our dreams and projects to fruition—I’d like to tell you about two of those projects right now.

Over the past 2 years, we’ve been working with DIF, the public institution that oversees orphanages in Mexico, to explore the possibility of establishing an orphanage for newborn babies and children up to 5 years old. I’m thrilled to announce that a unanimous decision was made by the PMSIO Board of Trustees to construct a separate housing complex on our 16-acre ranch that will provide food, clothing and shelter for these innocent abandoned children. We have broken ground and the foundation has been laid for Casa Cuna San Felipe Infant Orphanage!

It’s thanks to your spirit of compassion that we’re able to create a home for these vulnerable babies and young children, a place where they can grow, learn, and dream. We still have a long way to go, and we are counting on your ongoing support as we move forward with this huge undertaking.

But our mission doesn’t stop there. We have taken another monumental step, one that has filled our hearts with immense hope and excitement. With your prayers and support, we have embarked on the journey to build the first Antiochian Orthodox church in Northern Mexico! This endeavor will not only serve as a place of worship but also as a symbol of unity and belonging for the local Mexican community, whom we have welcomed and supported spiritually at our modest orphanage chapel. We have now secured the necessary property for the new church, which you will be able to visit this year just 30 minutes south of the border.

As we look to the future, we acknowledge that it is your ongoing financial support that will propel us towards our goals. PMSIO is deeply honored to build these life-changing missions hand-in-hand with each one of you.

Sincerely,

Dennis J. Awad

Chairman
