KBI Dinner in Phoenix March 10, 2012


PHOENIX (Feb. 1, 2012) – On March 10, 2012, the 2nd Annual Kino Border Initiative Dinner will be held to raise financial support for this ministry that helps individuals and communities on both sides of the Arizona/Mexican border affected by the consequences of migration.Founded in January 2009, the Kino Border Initiative (KBI) is strategically located in the twin cities of Ambos Nogales (southern Arizona and northern Sonora), which is a major port of entry and deportation for migrants in the southwest.  Their mission is to promote US/Mexico border and immigration policies that affirm the dignity of the human person and a spirit of bi-national solidarity through direct humanitarian assistance, social and pastoral education with communities on both sides of the border and participation in collaborative networks that engage in research and advocacy to transform local, regional, and national policies.One of their most visible efforts is the humanitarian assistance provided to migrants who have been deported from the U.S. Their outreach center provides meals, clothing and basic medical assistance to people recently deported. They also run a shelter for unaccompanied women and children who are otherwise extremely vulnerable to exploitation and abuse.Reverend Sean Carroll, S.J. currently serves as the executive director of the Kino Border Initiative and will share his insights and vision for the KBI during the dinner program.

WHAT:   The Kino Border Initiative 2nd Annual Dinner will support the work of the KBI by raising funds and awareness of border issues affected by the consequences of migration. Reverend Sean Carroll, S.J., executive director of KBI, will share his insights during the program.
