We are also a Bridge.
Many times the Lord uses us to link people and organizations together.
For example we have linked Baylor University’s engineering department with the Coconut Growers Association of Nayarit in order to bring value-added employment to the community through innovative coconut products.
We have also established a bridge between the diocese that runs MTMC (also St. Thomas and another hospital)and the diocese in Tepic, Nayarit so that in the event of any health crisis, Ruiz and other nearby communities in need can receive rapid aid.
We are also working together with DIF in Santiago to train seamstresses so that their work will become competitive in the world market.
