Project a challenge

the clinic is everything when ii comes to their health needs. The clime was built by student members of the Cniversity of San Diego Community Development Program. The building 1s expected to be finished early next year. Construction has been delayed until after semester finals. In addition to the medical clinic there is a ~choolhouse. Funds and supplies for the project were furnished by MANO, a :'11.exi• can-American association in San Diego . A San Diego pharmacy has donated medical supplies to the clinic. USD Students Are Co-chairmen Robert Nagle and Olivia Reyes are co-<'h~irmen of the pro• gram Robert is a USD sophomore economics maior from ~ew· port, R I. Olivia 1s a USD senior socmlogy major from Tiiuana. "Commg from the East, th1S was my fir t opportunity to acquaint myself with a foreign culture," Robert ~aid "Al [irst I went down lhi>re out o[ curiosity, but I saw 1hat there was so murh 1o do that thP proJ!'Cl beC'ame a challenge." The <'ircumstances were complete!) different for Ohvia. Her home 1s in 'T'iJnana. "For years I have seen the problems that m) people have to live with Pvery day." she said. "'.\-ly parent~ sent me to the lJmted States for ~rhooling ~o that T might get a broadi"r educa· tion anrl help the people here. The first time T went with a group of sturlrnts to 1he Colonia San Martin 1 wasn't sure what I could do to hdp. ''Many of the students who went down there spoke very little Span1Sh and I found that I was neederl to translate for the more than 1,000 ch'1ldren who wanted to communicate with the Ameri• can stud~nts. It impressed me that so many Americans were involved in helping and so few Mexicans.'' Group Works on Weekends The project 1s divided in1o three parts - construction of the building, clinic work and educating the children. Each week- end about 2f students go down to the Colonia San \.lartin to work on the project. "At flfst we were teaching them English," Olivia said, "but soon we realized that there were more basic needs that these children needed to learn, things like washing their hands prop- erly" "A few weeks ago, shortly after we arrived, a bov came to the clinic for treatment of burns on his left arm," Robert said. ''When I saw the miury I asked one of the sisters, a registered nurse from the university, to come over and look at the burn. It seems a group of boys had been burning tires a few days before and he had been pushed into the fire accidentally. "The sister sent him to another clinic that had better facilities and from there he was sent to a doctor. The burns were so bad that he finally ended up in the hospital for a few weeks." Used clothing is brought to San Martin and sold for a few pennies. "This way we don't hurt their pride by giving them charity and they know that the money will be used to buy more medi- cme for the clinic," Robert said. Intercept Caused Minor Delays "During Operation Intercept our project continued with only minor delays." Olivia said. '·We explained to the people in the colonia what was going on and the reasons for it. Their attitude towards us remained as warm and friendly as usual." Robert will participate in the Western Regional meeting of national student volunteers next month at Stanford University. This program is sponsored by the Nallonal Program for Volun- tary Action created by George Romney, secretary for housing and rban development, with the support of President Nixon. Robert hope to enlist the help of more social and educational institutions at the conference so that more can be done. "The area we are now working in has a population of 200,000," he said. "There are 10,000 people in the colonia alone. It is important that U.S. students go to Mexico, it shows we care.''
