Hi Asifo,

thanks for your interest. As I already said to Jacky, people are extremely
helpful on this list, though unfortunately they are not in the position to
offer anything else than technical advice (of high quality). How would I
like...

Anyway, regarding what people, government, churches, etc. think, we have a
strange situation. As I belong to a minority church (baptist) they don't
really like us, as followers of a "big stupidity". At the same time they
like us as people who care for their next, through orphanages, old people's
homes, etc., as we are probably the most active group in this regard. So
for projects like this, the doors are wide open, in what permits is
concerned. Otherwise they won't help "crazy people" like us.

This and a few other reasons brought me to the conclusion that also we
(like all the other baptist welfare institutions in Mexico) will have to
look for funds outside our country. As it is a big hassle (I know pretty
well so far by experience) to get funding from whomever, I want to install
the orphanage as self-sufficient as possible, so not to repeat all this
frustration over and over again.

That's more or less in a few words the reasons behind my perhaps hard to
understand attitude. It's really difficult for me to explain, but
everything obeys good reasons. - Now something else: yesterday the
(somewhat remote) possibility of a very well paid advisory job for me came
up. If I get it, I'll have the money for the orphanage in a short time. You
said "God Bless" in your post; so if you are a believing christian, I would
like to invite you to pray for this opportunity. It would be the end to all
the problems I have right now.

Take care!

Uwe
