CNN News:非营利组织帮助墨西哥蒂华纳改造房屋

AZUZ: Paula Claussen couldn't accept what she saw just outside Tijuana, Mexico. Lean-tos, where some people are living, were blown right over by high winds, rats, tarantulas and scorpions could walk right into some of the makeshift homes there.
This is according to Project Mercy, a noNPRofit that Claussen founded in 1991. It's changing lives in the region one house at a time.
阿祖兹：宝拉·克劳森不能接受她在墨西哥蒂华纳郊区看到的情况。一些人居住的披屋被强风吹倒，老鼠、狼蛛和蝎子甚至能进入一些临时住房中。
这是恩惠项目发现的情况，克劳森于1991年创立了这一非营利组织。该组织帮助这一地区建造住房，改变这一地区的生活。

PAULA CLAUSSEN, cnn HERO: San Diego is one of the wealthiest cities in the States. But just right across the border, it's a different world.
In the outskirts of Tijuana, there is no running water, no sewage system. The floors are dirt and vermin crawl under the walls. It's hard for Americans to imagine.
Twenty-five years ago, I went to just donate clothes and I was shocked. I knew I had to do something to try to help them.
I started an organization that builds homes for people in need free of charge.
宝拉·克劳森：圣地亚哥是美国最富有的城市之一。但是在圣地亚哥边界对面，却完全是另一个世界。
蒂华纳郊区没有自来水，没有下水道系统。地板非常脏，害虫在墙下爬来爬去。这是美国人很难想象的情况。
25年前，我来这里捐赠衣服时被震惊了。我知道我必须做些什么来帮助他们。
我成立了一个组织，免费为有需要的人们建造房屋。
