| UPDATES
The Mexico Trek will be updated every Saturday night so
you can check it out on Sunday while you are finalizing
plans for the week, and every Wednesday night by 6 EST so you
can plan for Thursday and/or Friday.

Caution: Teachers, this week we look at the hope of many youth coming to Mexico from all over the world to study and we show your kids how they can get involved. However, we also begin looking at what life is really like for homeless youth in Mexico City. Today’s report mentions how kids on the street often drug themselves, and refers very briefly to the physical abuse one young man suffered before he left home and how he saw his best friend shot.
