Basic Facts

Hey fellow adventurers! This month we’ll be talking about Mexico which I’m super excited for! To be honest, even though I’ve lived in San Diego for my entire life, I don’t know that much about Mexico. Also, I mentioned before that I took French in high school so I know almost no Spanish. So I’m really looking forward to learning about Mexico with all of you!

Mexico is a country located in North America. Mexico is well known for its food, fashion, culture and language. I’m a huge fan of their tequila! It is the eighth most visited country in the world and maybe by the end of the month, you’ll understand why. Mexico is a member of the United Nations, the World Trade Organization, the G8+5, the G20, the Uniting for Consensus and the Pacific Alliance.

However, poverty is a big problem in Mexico with a little over 43% of the population in poverty and a little over 7% of the population unable to buy everyday necessities in 2016 according to the Associated Press. In addition to that, the Mexican government has been struggling with drug trafficking and drug cartels. Tens of thousands have died due to drug-related gang violence in the past decade according to the BBC. Reporters Without Borders describes Mexico as “one of the hemisphere’s most dangerous countries” for journalists with a high volume of journalists getting murdered by drug cartels. In addition, the drug cartels almost always go unpunished.

I normally don’t talk about current events but since I’m covering Mexico this month, I wanted to say that my heart and thoughts go out to the victims of the 7.1 earthquake that recently occurred. I acknowledge that the earthquake is one of many disasters that have happened recently and I sincerely hope, reader, that your friends and family are okay. If you have the time and any extra money, even just $1, I hope you’ll consider donating to a charity that’s working to help families who are suffering from natural disasters. Charities like Direct Relief can make a big impact in times like this, and they’re transparent with how they spend the money donated: https://secure.directrelief.org/site/Donation2;jsessionid=00000000.app262b?df_id=2105&mfc_pref=T&2105.donation=form1&_ga=2.10895604.1342781591.1506962983-1136856029.1506962983&_gac=1.254034620.1506962983.EAIaIQobChMI78nsxLLS1gIV03J-Ch0pBww2EAAYASAAEgIIz_D_BwE&NONCE_TOKEN=EBDEC6B9696365AFF39E7263E9EE8206.
