San Pedrito, Mexico from Jon Anderson on Vimeo.

Here is a video from a photo journalist I know. These are all still shots from a trip my mom went on in March. It is from a village on the southern border of Mexico. An organization out of Seattle called Agros buys land throughout Central America and provides the beginings of an infrastructure for native people to break out of the cycle of poverty. I traveled with this organization 10 years ago in college and experienced an amazing trip through Guatemala. Agros buys this land and people apply to live on it and a village is formed. Then through agricultural development of the land villagers eventually earn enough to pay Agros back for the land itself and become property owners. Agros operates internationally but employs nationals to work with their own people as well as sending teams from the states to partner with specific villages. It is impressive to see the gospel worked out so tangibally.
