  • Kino Teens Video: Watch the latest Kino Teens video of the sixth annual Border Days, a four-day gathering in July focused on educating high school students about the realities of the border and fostering community. During this immersion experience, 39 students from California, Delaware, Tucson and Nogales, Arizona attended presentations, volunteered at the comedor, hiked in the footsteps of the migrants, and met to discuss ways to respond to the crisis at the border. Find this video at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9iAvyo9t_u0&feature=youtu.be.
