NO SWEAT IN MEXICO!


It was right before we left.
I was little bit excited and worried at the same time.
Some mexican people infront of
a cool looking restaurant.


All the members who went to Mexico and some
immigrants who needed our help.
Those kids were really cute and innocent;
their smiles are especially adorable!

Natallie, Pisie, Eliza and a mexican girl are
posing! They all became good friends after all.
I told them to pose like that,
which is really famous in Korea.


Jonghwa, Betty, and I!
Betty is a nurse who is actually American living
in Mexico. She dedicated her life to many Mexicans.
Every Friday for years,
she and her husband take out a sign:stop the war and
go out on the street and sort of protest against injustice.


That guy is Adrian Hull who is a professor at SUNY.
He is one of the people who came to Mexico with us.
He was really a good guy and taught us about unseen hands
affecting the economy, which was very interesting.



They and we all were volunteers.
Most of them were teachers and students and
some were nurses.

Chrstina(third from the right) is the teacher
who helps all children with poverty
in that area to go to school.
She herself was not rich either, but she was so dedicative.
This area is really difficult for the parents to send
their children to schools,
because of seriousfinancial problem; even the children
had to work to support their families.

We, Oakwoodians, donated about $100 and
school supplies to Christina, and she wholeheartedly
appreciated us. This fence is what divides Mexico and the US.
As you can see this fence is about miles long, and
the left side is Mexico and the right side is the US.

The government says that this fence is made
to protect Americans from Mexicans.....
