To have had the opportunity to share the blessings that God has bestowed on each of us and to pass it on to total strangers has been so rewarding! But why am I surprised?

MDS began with a very aggressive tree removal program. This moved into home repair on a number of homes. It was not until recently that money became available to build some new homes for survivors of the storm. MDS built 2 new homes and repaired several others. This is a bi-national project with Region 3 taking responsibility for providing volunteers beginning with a six week Amish Program.
