An Introduction

From June 10 to August 12, we will be volunteering with No More Deaths. As their website (www.nomoredeaths.org) describes their work:
"For the past 3 summers, No More Deaths has had a continuous presence in the desert in order to take direct action to save lives...No More Deaths will continue staffing camps in the desert and working in Nogales and Agua Prieta, Mexico with migrant centers that offer aid to people who have recently been deported in compromised health and are in need of respite care."
Basically, we will be working out of camps in the desert, providing food, water, and first aid to migrants in need, and we couldn't be more excited to begin. We will try and update this blog as often as possible, but at the moment it is difficult to estimate how frequently we will be able to access the internet. We are required to take at least a day or two off every two weeks (this means the potential to head into Tucson), so if nothing else we should be able to update once every two weeks. Hopefully this will serve as both a means for us to process our experiences, as well as a way for all of you who are interested to keep updated on all that we are seeing and doing.
