Unexpected
Results
One
of the results of this
effort was unintended and came as a surprise.
Art For Humanity is slowing the flow of illegal immigrants into the United
States. Families typically send one of
their young men to cross the boarder because of financial need. They’d
prefer
not to do so but, necessity drives them in that direction. Art For Humanity is
offering an
alternative. Families are now beginning a small business rather than
depend on
an illegal crossing.
