On December 17th volunteers from the Ciudad de Mexico Rotary Club, Poza Rica Rotary Club and Woodland Charity traveled to Colonia Nueva Esperanza to provide portable water filters to the families affected by the disastrous water floods. Colonia Nueva Esperanza has been identified as Zona Cero. The entire community was devastated… all homes, water services, electric services, homes, all essential services completed wipe out from the water flood. Said Jorge Coromac from Woodland Charity. Cannot imagen how families were able to survive this tremendous damage.
Little by little help has been getting to the families that do not have homes. No place to stay, no bed to sleep, no place to sit to eat, no stove, no bedding supplies, no cloths, no shoes, no personal identifications, no school supplies, nothing, nothing, …. But with an imaginable spirit to rebuild, to come back. Deepest admiration and respect for each member of each family that are working together to come back. Said Coromac.
