Small steps leading to giant steps
In 1981 Gene Brust, Superintendent of the Palominas School District, launched the first intercultural exchange between Palominas and a school on the Sonora side in Arizpe. With the support of the Superintendent of the Arizpe School, Arturo Silva, the program quickly caught on generating interest from schools, families and the media on both sides of the border. In the late 80s, an executive director and certified facilitator were hired to coordinate the multifaceted program. Five years later, a sister foundation, Manos a Traves de la Frontera (MATF) was established. Today there are 100+ school programs in the U.S. and Sonora, Mexico.
