Mexico City Nov. 18-20

REDIM (The Red para Derechos de la Infancia en Mexico / Network for Rights of Children in Mexico) had their annual children rights conference and a closing of the work we started in August- giving workshops to our children in CODENI about their rights of expression and identity in regards to the media. So colleagues from 8 or so states in Mexico brought three kids each to the conference and we had participatory conversations about what we want changed in Mexican society and how we can use our voices to makes changes. I felt so welcomed by the Mexican community and loved interacting with the kids (our kids from Codeni were: Lorena, Cristian, and Duilio).

I am staying with my friend Elizabeth who is in my masters program in Boston and we are up to a bunch of adventures...then we will be cooking for Thanksgiving on Thursday here in her apartment in San Miguel Chapultepec.
