Mexico Rediscovered

Our Mexico Rediscovered Program allows volunteers to experience the realities of rural Mexican life, as far away as one can imagine from the glitz and glamour that popularize coastal Mexican resort towns acclaimed by international tourists. Mexico has long been a country of two realities. One is associated with beautiful beaches, margaritas and lengthy midday siestas all enjoyed by a quite wealthy upper class, while the vast majority of the population are rural farmers, whose daily struggles to keep their communities intact seem increasingly destined to fail.
