Casa Alexia- A Border Ministry in El Paso and Juarez

Immersion Experiences

Casa Alexia offers a five day immersion program for those interested in a border awareness experience focusing on the border between El Paso, Texas and Ciudad Juárez, México. The experience offers an opportunity to interact with university professors, people from both sides of the border, different agencies and human rights groups. The focus of the learning is on the effects of globalization and NAFTA on border life. Past participants have had this to say:

"Going to the center for detained minors and the colonias are experiences I will never forget."
"The personal stories of the people make the situation so real."
"My commitment to immigration reform is deeper than ever."
