We saw hundreds of people peering over the fence, wondering what would life be like if only they had been born on the other side.From August 16-26, 1996, 42 people (36 were under 25) from three different

Quintin, which is about 400 km south of the border on the Baja. The clinic
is run by Mexican Medical Ministries. Mexican Medical operates 9 medical
