August 2007: SUMMER CAMP---Tecate, Mexico. Fun and games marked the beginning of a new semester for
Manos Mexico. Volunteers from the United States and China came together to host a two day camp and were
warmly received by the small community. The days were filled with sports competitions, arts & crafts, and cultural
exchange. Moments with area captain Cecilia Lopez were spent reminiscing of how Manos began in Mexico. Now,
after a great summer camp, with the new session of classes on the horizon, and with the addition of dedicated
volunteers, spirits are flying high and kids haven't stopped asking, "When do classes start?" Click on thumbnails to
