Dear Friends, George and Sue:
 
 
Im Mexican, I live in Mexico City.
 
This tragedy has evolved us also, and here in Mexico, we are with your people.
 
Only a sugestion. That light night, turn off your television, and talk with
your sons,  children or young, about the incident. It must be the last time.
 
I think your idea is really a beautiful and useful  action, but begin too the
change, going into your homes.
 
Regards
 
Jorge Mendez
