To stop the
northward move of the Mexican economy, Mexico looks for ways to bring
investment and infrastructure into the southern and central regions. One
program, "Adopt-a-Community," seeks to mobilize successful Mexican American
padrinos (godfathers) to invest in southern regions in an effort to bring
employment, education, health services and other infrastructure to the
indigenous regions
Enormous numbers of people are involved, and a low
standard of living with major unemployment from Puebla to Panama is pointed
to by the name of the program Plan Puebla—Panama. ˇ
Buena suerte !
