New Kitchen at Primary School

While this certainly appears wonderful to our foreign readers, anyone with any local knowledge of how our government operates sees that now the parents of these children will feel obliged to vote for the party of the PRI thanks to your association with the city government and the PRI pre-candidate for the mayor Jorge Sánchez. In other words, your organization was used to further political interests. I do wish you all were able to see more clearly how your good deeds are being misused by other people with ulterior motives. It's really the only reason why I hold back from offering you all my full support.

And as I've repeated ad nauseum here and to our local authorities, I see much greater benefit in reinforcing the infrastructure of a few large schools for which government funds and resources are available than in adding to the hundreds of tiny schools for which funds and resources will never be available. If I could walk a couple of miles to school every day when I was in elementary and junior high school then certainly some of our local schoolkids can walk a couple of kilometers if necessary. Who knows, maybe someday it'll even occur to local authorities to set up a system of schoolbuses? Because too many of those hundreds of tiny schools are being used to fulfill a technical requirement to get the zoning changed on lands invaded by squatters. That was a lesson locals learned from the Netzahualcóyotl School that the Rotary also supported thanks to well-meaning but uninformed foreigners, and that's where and when the land invasions began in earnest.

But I thank you all sincerely for your wonderful humanitarian intentions.
