BorderLinks' Reading Packet

Click to view photo gallery

The Reading Packet provides helpful background for anyone wanting to understand the border reality.  These articles have been carefully selected by the BorderLinks staff to reflect a balanced and fair view of events and issues as they are a part of people's lives here on the border where the first and third world economies converge.

The situation is dynamic, practically, politically and socially. Please understand that the reality reflected in this material is not expected to be comprehensive nor is it exhaustive.  Read it with the anticipation of coming to the border and being in relationship with the folks who live this reality every day.

Much of this material is copywrited and is used here with permission of the authors and publishers.  If you are using it for research purposes, you have our permission.  However, any material you intend to reproduce or publish should be independently cleared with the respective authors and publishers.

 

Please print the Reading packet, read it carefully, and bring your curiosity and questions with you upon arrival.
