So is ALA forever closed?
If so kismet has concured.
Yes we were low on stuff like toilet paper,
medical assistance, and when we asked for medical assistance they took weeks to a month to finally react. Even if the sickness was terribly dangerous. I was there when the federalis took a teacher Marie, a student named Steve, Lee, Matt, and Josh were tooken to Mexican Jail. I was split up with a group of five in a different house formed into two different PPC's. House 1 the original with 9 students, then House 2 with 5. Meanwhile when federalis were looking for visa's House 2 was given order to hide in the back of the house where they couldnt see us. They stayed in that jail for almost a week and were transported by bus to a different location. Roger claims since Matt's dad was a big man of law he helped out to get custody back into the programs hands then sent them to Utah. All of them were sent home except for Josh and Matt. Josh was sent back to Mexico in Ajijic. MAtt stayed in Utah. The boys moved around into three different homes as the population started growing. When in Talachichilco things were alright then until the good american staff were either fired or bailed. At first we had service role for example "Wheaties Man" (The Chef) This role would cook breakfast and luch. But there was a hired cook that cooked dinner. Her name was Concha. She also had her daughter assist her. When the cooks were sick they would still cook. Finally when they thought they were getting everything settled they purchased property dor a school where we could go do school work. Then they hired "professional cooks" that cooked breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The kitchen they cooked in was not sanitary. Where we ate in the cafeteria was always a swarm of flies. Sometimes we would find a fly in our hot suace or soup etc. People started getting really sick. When terribly sick they would make the sick ones sleep on the office instead of letting them rest in their beds. Sometimes there was over 7 people sick that would lounge in the office. No body hardly ever did there school work. There was no safe place for any important items, like school work or neccesities regarding hygiene would end up missing. My labtop with a book I was writing on it was stolen, and never returned. Lots of people that went to this program would agree with what I'm saying 95% of the students left with not even half of thier belongings that went through inventory were returned home. Anywayz way to much to say.
Gotta go!
Odios,
