For Your Information
Looking for Work: Carolina, the young woman who was recently sick and needed blood, is now well and looking for work. She still needs to get some blood tests and to take medication, but her blood count is fine now. She is thankful for the response from the foreign community in getting blood available to her. If you or someone you know needs a good, reliable housekeeper and/or cook, Carolina is scrupulously honest and takes pride in her work. She has three children, one of whom is being cared for by a grandmother in Zacualpan. The other two are with Carolina. Information: Fred Chace, Guayabitos
