Ten years ago today, Shari was serving breakfast to the community affected by the Chalco flood.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was February 2010 when the sewage canal burst open, pouring water into the valley of Chalco. The water kept pouring out day after day, filling the lower floor of people’s homes, destroying appliances, books, and clothes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With our brothers and sisters from the church in Santa B\u00c3\u00a1rbara, we began serving breakfast each morning at the edge of the flood, which was only 5 minutes from our home. We also provided water and some other essentials for the community at this time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
