| Introduction | ,I am a humanitarian/founder of a 501C3 Family Foundation. Founded in honor of my 12 year old grandson who has autism. All my work honors and recognizes his life. My offices are in NE Mexico, however I conduct my work in the US, 7 Mexican States and Nicaragua, building schools, kitchens, therapy centers for disabled and impoverished children. I knew little about the drugwar 10 years ago when I set down roots in NE Mexico, being in ground zero and in Mx during the escalation of violence has given me a ring side seat and and indepth education to the horror. The issue of the drugwar and the terror brought from it, has trumped all other needs of the people of Mexico, especially the needs of its children. It is my opinion they go hand and hand and must be included in any solution brought forth. It is my prayer that the impoverished children not be forgotten, that they be given an education that is equal to all children of Mexico. Education brings opportunity, and hope. Without hope the children become the large pool of recruits for organized crime. ....Paz, Chivis |
