Comments from around the World
This work is not just so that our families can eat. A certain percentage of the income goes to improving the community. For example, when the schools needed desks, we gave a donation. We also get frequent requests for other kinds of economic aid. We can’t solve the problems ourselves, but we try to put our grain of salt in everything. - Manuel Alvarez - UPA, Mexico.
