Director’s Report
Children – There are 206 children in residence but Saul reported he expects an increase to 210 by start of school. 18 children graduated from school this past year and 14 will be attending college.
The Matamoros Children's Home began its work in Matamoros, Mexico in 1967 with Bernard and Freda Yandow. Located in a colonia for some years, it served orphaned and neglected children.
In 1971 the Home moved its operations to the present location with just one building that was constructed with the support and help of several Baptist churches from Texas.
Today the director Dr. Saul Camacho lives at the Home with his wife Maria. They have three daughters of their own along with 150 other children they call their own! Dr. Camacho is a medical doctor and administrates the work at the on site Clinic as well as the Home.
Saul and Maria's love for the Home and all of the children there can be best witnessed by visiting... I could never put it in words!
