New and revamped stations that are appearing here in the northern part of Mexico. Change is coming. More to come I'm sure.

I have to say again that there are many Mexican governmental departments that actually do quite a bit for the down and out, special needs and the elderly. The problem I see is that the government does a poor job, like in the U.S., of letting the population know what is available to them.
Sedesol, DIF, Liconsa, Oportunidades are just a few that provide excellent services. It's about getting the information to the people in rural areas.
It's unfortunate when I have to give talks to parents in schools informing them of the benefits that exist. I'm not a fan of NGOs. I think we pay in taxes for programs that exist and should be taken advantage of.
How many people know that in more than 65% of the Mexicans states exists a program 65 o Mas (similar to the "old age pension")? Granted, it's not much but 1000 pesos a month buys a lot of food in Mexico.
