A boy digging alone in the mud remains of his adobe brick home in Irapuato, Guanajuato, Mexico, which was devastated by water when a nearby dam broke in August, following torrential rains. A $4,000 emergency grant from the Presiding Bishop's Fund for World Relief helped Bishop Jose G. Saucedo of the Diocese of Central and South Mexico to purchase and distribute food packages and blankets for needy in the city. ( Photo by Nancy Howard.)
