My Trip to Mexico
Last month, the company I work for, SVI, went to a city in central Mexico called Torreón. It is actually a collection of cities not unlike Northwest Arkansas. It is made up of the main city Torreón, Palacio Gomez, and Ciudad Lerdo. As a company, we went there to work in a food bank. The entire Torreón area has a population of just over a million of which, nearly a quarter live at or below the poverty level.
We saw things in that city that were breath-taking. There were times when it felt as though we were in a war torn country in Africa. Dust was blowing. Houses were built out of findings from a refuse heap. It would be hard to experience that and not be moved to act.
