About the Students
TR scholars went to LaBoca, Nuevo Leon, Mexico for a mission trip on their Alternative Spring Break service abroad experience in Mexico in March 2006. While there, they helped modernize a local church by installing running water in the restroom and kitchen. This was the first structure in the village to have running water.
