Mi Casa es Su Casa!

Hi, my name is Megan Maloney and I'm a campus minister at UMDearborn and Henry Ford Community College. Together with Rakhi Roy, I'll be taking a group of 10 wonderful students from UMD and OU to Tijuana, Feb 24-Mar 3, for a spring break service trip. "Mi Casa es Su Casa" means "My House is Your House." We are grateful for the hospitality of the Scalabriano Fathers, whose Casa del Migrante (House of the Migrants) is where we will be staying. The Casa del Migrante is a place of hospitality for many Latin American migrants who seek better paying jobs to support their families. We'll be helping to reinforce the houses of the poor in Tijuana whose homes are barely liveable. This project started a few years ago when a little baby died in her own home of exposure because the houses are so poorly insulated. For me, "Mi Casa es Su Casa" expresses both the hospitality of the Scalabriano Fathers at the Casa del Migrante, and the solidarity of our students and donors with the poor of Tijuana whose houses need some TLC. My House is Your House...and Your House is My House!
