SUMMER VACATION is the time when students, from kindergartners to college kids, are freed from their schedules of study, testing and even recess to pursue a schedule of sleeping late, watching television and taking thing easy. However, most students of all ages fill up the summertime hours with other pursuits -- vacations with their families, camps, summer jobs and projects.
One group of teenagers, along with adult leaders and advisers, prepared for an outreach project that is celebrating its 29th year. During the Mexico Mission by the Youth Ministry of the First Christian Church of Concord, high school students and adults head to a neighborhood outside Tijuana, Mexico, to spend the week of June 24 to July 1 working together to build homes for the poorest residents of the community."
