Then about 5 years ago a
hurricane struck that area of
Mexico and destroyed many
homes. Funds and volunteers
arrived and the group was
able to replace 40 houses in
just a few months. Now the
group builds 4 new houses a
year. Volunteers come from
around the world all year long
to provide help and support to
this disadvantaged area of
Mexico.
Originator of this mission
work is a local musician
named Mark Mulligan whose
concerts and CD's are a
source of funding. The funds
he raises are matched by a
company in Arizona with
whom the group is allied.
Work crews of 3 to 10
volunteers like Sam work six
days a week from 9 in the mom-
ing to 3 in the afternoon using
whatever materials are donated
or purchased through raised
funds. The conditions in which
many of the families in this area
live are deplorable. The homes
the group build are not man-
sions by any stretch of our
imagination but offer a fresh
start to the families who move
into them. The new homes are
16' by 20' or 320 square feet
with two rooms and a bath-
room. Bathroom takes on a
new meaning when one real-
izes many homes are too far in
the country to have electricity
and running water. Gravity
tanks for water are sometimes
installed and today's solar lights
are a plus there. Sometimes
compressors are installed but

gasoline to run them is costly
for these families.
The group has also built a
playground in a more settled
area and they plan outings for
the children such as beach par-
ties. To inspire independence
for the adults `Castaway Kids'
have organized the women
who run a thrift shop in a
donated building. Others make
quilts to sell.
If you wish to learn more
about the group one can visit
the Castaway Kids website.
It is also a great vacation
for Sam who rents accom-
modation in San Carlos for
the winter months some-
times within sight of the
beach at a low cost. He
becomes one of the natives
for those weeks, living and
working among them.
