| 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: We’d like to repeat our caution about the subject matter being addressed. The update this week moves away from the harsh topics about homelessness that were hinted at last week. However, the Making a Difference page begins to address the topic of drug use among homeless youth head on. It doesn’t give many details and doesn’t even tell what the chemicals are that are abused, BUT it does have some links to more information on other websites that do get explicit. So please just be aware.
