Volunteer work... an "upper class" concept? by Gift

This is Jose Fernando, the gentleman with whom Alin, David and I got acquainted on the bus as we headed off to take part in cleanning the streets of Bracho, the town where Zacatecas City was founded. There is a nation-wide movement called, “Limpiemos Nuestro Mexico!” (Let’s Clean Up Mexico!). The local municipality, including advocate like Jose Fernando, has committed to making “A Better Zacatecas” and has invited its citizens in cleaning its streets and towns. As grateful as Jose Fernando was for our help, he expressed disappointment for the lack of participation from the community. He says, “the people are just not in this mind-set.”
