NI Mexico ‘08!!!
We are a team of seven undergraduates from the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, and we'll be working in El Gusano, Guanajuato, Mexico for four weeks this summer. Project dates are May 10 to June 7, and we are getting very excited to be leaving on Saturday.
Our team has been working hard throughout the semester, writing lesson plans and getting donations in the form of books, jerseys, and computers.
Our partner organization in Mexico is Fundacion Comunitaria del Bajio, which works to connect universities, NGOs and communities to work on development projects that capitalize on communities' strengths to improve quality of life and initiate income-generating activities. They have been an incredible force behind the project and have worked tirelessly to help it evolve into something sustainable and positive for all members of the community.
As we continue to post over the course of the next month, please feel free to share your thoughts with us. We would love to hear from you!
