You may wonder about how much money the people earn that live in these plush accommodations. The Mexican worker earns each day they work more than three times the wage workers in another country. The Mexican worker earns $4.20 per day. When I eat a meal at Wendy’s for example, I pay just $4.99. Slightly less than minimum wage here in the US per hour let alone it being about 18% more than our neighbors to the south earn for a full days work. No wonder they have to live in homes constructed of skids, cardboard and tar paper. While we were on our mission trip, we learned that some of the companies that set up operation in Juarez to manufacture goods with lower labor costs have moved or are moving operations across the Pacific to China so the labor cost per hour drops to a meager $1.20 per day. What is going on here is it the corporations are being greedy for large profits? Is it the consumer being greedy by wanting every thing at a cost of next to nothing and not willing to pay a fair price for goods so that the laborer can earn a living to live a modest life style? Is it greedy investors to want to make lots of money hand over fist at the expense of human suffering? Is this a vicious cycle that can only be broken by most of the humans being erased from the earth like in the day of Noah? Let’s take a look at some more pictures that will warm your heart.

A school bus home. At least it’s not cardboard.	Oops, my hand. At least it’s not blocking out the car up on blocks or the pretty tar papered home.

Enough of these model home pictures. I sure wish no human had to live in these conditions. Clearly shows a reason to help the poor. With food donations to these people, they can take their earnings from their job to purchase building materials to construct a more livable home. Let's move onward to pictures of the mission team distributing food to the residents of this town.
