last time i was there was 70’s, i can’t imagine
Last time I was down there was in the early to mid 80’s.
Did a lot of volunteer work at the local schools in Punta Banda, I would buy (out of my own pocket) surplus school district desks, chairs, reams of paper and building supplies.
When I found out the school principals were stealing all the paper goods, pencils, surplus computers (older equipment our schools no longer used or wanted), typewriters, etcetera, and selling it on their black market, I just said to hell with this crap and quit.
The kids and their parents really appreciated what I was doing but I had to tell them it was costing me a lot of money and stress every time I was stopped by the crooked Mexican police and had to pay the extra mordida.
And if everything I brought was just going to be stolen by the school administrators there was no point in continuing.
TO BAD - SO SAD!
