Manos a Traves a la Frontera
This is Francisco Robles. He teaches in a high school near his home in Jures, Mexico. Francisco stayed with us last week as part of an exchange program called Hands Across the Border. The program allows children from United States and Mexico to live with a family from another culture. Francisco was here to check out the homes the Mexico kids will stay in and to meet the parents in the program. Francisco spoke very little english and my spanish is not too good. But, somehow, we finally learned to talk with one another and determined we have much in common.
Francisco has a wife and two eight month old twins. He is the youngest of, I think, eight children who are spread around Sonora, Mexico and Baja. On Friday night we drank Coronas, ate and talked about kids and family. We really had a good time. I want to drive and visit him and his family this summer.
Estamos Hermanos y Amigos!
