Moreover, the California-Mexico Studies Center would like to give special thanks to the following organizations for their continuous humanitarian work in our communities both in the U.S. and in Mexico:
Border Angels / Ángeles de la Frontera for creating a space to open the "door of hope" to allow families separated by the U.S.-Mexico border to have the chance to see and hug each for a couple minutes.
On Saturday Nov. 19th, five families had the chance to hug for about 3 minutes each as the "Door of Hope" opened for 20 minutes at the U.S.-Mexico border.
Deported Veterans Support House for supporting those who have served in the US Military, only to be deported from the country for which they fought.
The CMSC visits the Deported Veterans Support House in Tijuana, B.C.
Desayunador Salesiano "Padre Chava" Tijuana, B.C. for providing meals, clothing, and other important services to the homeless, migrants, and others in need in Tijuana.
The Desayunador Salesiano "Padre Chava" provides 1,200 food servings daily to the homeless, migrants who are passing through, and people in need.
DREAMers Moms USA/Tijuana for their dedication and continuous support to mothers of U.S. citizen children and 'Dreamers' who have been separated from their family and children after being deported, and who are now living in Mexico and other countries.
