United in Service Latin America

USLA has develop partnerships with various groups in the El Paso and regions of Northern Mexico. In February and May of 2009, we were able to provide the Rotary Cub of Cuatemoc, Mexico with 10 computers to schools attended by the Tarahumara Indians of Chihuahua, Mexico. The Tarahumara live in extreme poverty in the mountains of Chihuahua. Some have also moved to Juarez in order to find work.

When I first started thinking about how we could help people in Latin America, I thought about what I could offer. I'm an engineer so I have a bit of a knack for computers. Unfortunately, I quickly dismissed the idea that electronics would have anything to do with providing relief to the poor. I figured what they needed was food, water, and clothing.
