Past Wednesday, April 9th, one of our interns in the Rehabilitation Centre, Oscar Hugo Castillo MartÌnez, 30 years old, came to the end of our program. Oscar first came in a very deteriorated physical state because of alcohol, but along the 8 months of program in the Rehabilitation Centre, he had a fast recovery, both physical and spiritual.

The moment the got his diploma he stated: “Honestly, when I came in at first in my third day, I wanted to run away from the Rehabilitation Centre, then I met God and I convinced myself I needed a different life style. I thank God for my parents who were very patient with me, and for this place; Christ, he sets free, and sets free for ever”.
186 people witnessed these words from Oscar, and the others interns prayed for him, being this very emotive for all of them, after the talk from Jose Amezcua, people enjoyed delicious food along with the voluntaries of CVC Mexico.

At the CVC’s Rehabilitation Centre, things are doing FINE, considering what we have grown, specially in the external group: approximately 120 people attends to Wednesday’s meetings, and to Friday’s meetings about 85 people attends; what worries us the most is our inability to receive more people, victims of drugs and in the need of rehabs.

As for the internal group: to this moment we have a waiting list of 14 people, that is why it is essential for us to grow in resources: a) human resources, little by little we are improving in training more and better the area collaborators, and b) economic resources, the ones we need the most to carry on with the program as it is, and to expand the place to fulfill the growing number of applications to enter our program, submitted by the people who need rehab and can see the success, quality and warmth of our services.
