Confronteras is an initiative of the Child Leader Project to immerse young leaders in experiences and opportunities regarding issues that they identify as most important to them. Confronteras: Confronting the USA-Mexico Border is an opportunity to visit the border and meet with leaders, immigrants and citizens to create a whole and contextual understanding of what the border means to people on both sides.

Message from Youth Leader Franay!

"What's the Confronteras team been up to?!?" you ask?

Lots of planning and preparation have been put into action during this insane holiday season! This past Thursday the team, and our special guest, MDS Shiva, got together at the Arlanza Cybrary to go over some necessary material. We discussed the logistics of how our trip will play out, everything from what we need to pack, to what questions we wish to have answered, and what we expect to gain from this trip. We also made a Facebook FAN PAGE! Check us out
"CLP: Confronteras 2012" and 'Like' us to help spread the word!
The team is now working on registering with BorderLinks, the organization who will be leading our trip in Arizona and Mexico. You can check out their webpage at: http://www.borderlinks.org/
The closer we get to the trip date, the more we seem to get done. Last week's meeting = Success!
