The Orange County Register YORBA LINDA — Quilting became Cathy Farris's way of healing after her son's passing in 2002. "Quilting was my therapy to get over my grieving," said Farris, a Yorba Linda resident. Now, Farris is turning her therapy into good deeds.

One Orange County man devotes his life to orphans in Mexico.

THE ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER In those days, Roy Ketring never had any desire to visit south of the border. Spending a weekend in a dusty pueblo northeast of Ensenada had about as much appeal as spending a weekend touring the local DMV. "It's not that I had a prejudice against the people. I just didn't want to go," Ketring said. It was 1979. Ketring sat on a committee at Placentia Presbyterian Church that would decide where to direct church resources for the poor and disadvantaged...... READ MORE. Wednesday, June 27, 2007

Placentia Presbyterian's Ketring now chairs foundation.
By ADAM TOWNSEND
THE ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER PLACENTIA — The El Sauzal Orphanage is only about 180 miles from Placentia, but life there couldn't be more different. But thanks to help from the Placentia Presbyterian Church – and especially its member Roy Ketring III – the home for needy children in Baja, Mexico, is able to share a little in the prosperity just north of the border. Ketring has been helping direct funds to the Mexican orphanage since the late '70s, when he said God directed him to visit the place. Now, he runs a foundation he started to provide funds for the facility.....READ MORE. |

"Seize the moment." -Frank Barron
By ROBERTA DELGADO GIESEA
BAJA TIMES NEWSPAPER The Santa Fe Traders store has now become a reality. It opened its doors in April to benefit the El Sauzal orphanage located in San Antonio de las Minas. Kris says, “We stumbled into the El Sauzal orphanage by accident one day on our way to the Valley de Guadalupe.” The couple stayed for two and a half hours becoming friends of the family who operates the orphanage and cares for the children under their supervision. During this visit Frank and Kris saw extreme need. “The shelves were empty. They needed food and basic simple supplies such as toilet paper,” Frank recalls. With forty children to care for ranging from 8 months to 20 years old, the orphanage needs consistent support. ......READ MORE. |
