Mission Project For this mission trip I will be traveling to Puerto Nuevo, Mexico with nine other people to help fill a small orphanage with the necessary supplies they will need and to help with the Children while spreading the Word of God. We will be focusing on those are 18 and younger, and will be making sure we give them an abundance of supplies so they the orphanage can use the supplies we give them for years. Once we fully supply the orphanage we will be there for the children.

Their economy depends on their exports. Mexico’s largest trade partners are: The United States, China, Japan, Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador. Mexico has become the US’ third-largest source of imports and the second largest export market. This has made the two-way trade in products surpass $590 billion. Their main export is manufactured products, silver, fruits, vegetables, cotton, and coffee.

The Mexican Economy will always be weak because of falling oil production, weak oil prices, high inequality, informal sector employing over half the workforce, weak enforcements of the law, and corruption. Mexico is number 119 on the GDP growth rate list compared to other countries. The unemployment rate is at 4.4% right now but this is not a stable number. The number could be as low as that or as high as 25%. Also 52.3% of the population is below the poverty line. With every trip you go on there will be safety concerns. The two biggest concerns are those that relate to your health and safety. The main safety concerns are that there are cases of homicide in Puerto Nuevo. These homicides often happen at night and the targets are not tourists. These homicides are targeted criminal organization assassinations or turf battles between criminal groups and …show more content…
To know what the orphanage would need we looked up what orphanages need to constantly be restocked with and then made our decision. We our supplying them with: diapers, socks, first aid kits, light bulbs, coloring books, binders, paper, pens, notebooks, soap, hand sanitizer, blankets, pillows, markers, pencils, lotion, games, sport supplies, and crayons. After we knew what we were bringing, I had to find a good flight for all of us to take, and a hotel for us to stay at. I booked five rooms for the ten of us in the neighboring city of Tijuana for fourteen days, and fought a round trip flight for us. Then looked up the average cost per person a day for food and water. To find out how much all this would cost, I made a budget plan that shows the prices of everything then had to make the conversion from USD to Peso to know what the cost of items would be in Mexico. The conversion rate from USD to
