I read that it is a “school service project.” What kind of service project? Are these 13 year old privileged American school children doing the work that Mexicans won’t do? OR why are these children doing service projects in Mexico when they come from a city that is full of poverty and run-down projects. They could walk around the corner from the US Capitol building and find embarrasing slums that could use with some improvement. They could mentor some impoverished American children who are relegated to the worst schools in America. But it is probably too dangerous to let these children loose in DC.
They could have gone to Detroit or Camden instead.
