Symbolic Monarchs in Mexico

 

Vicente Guerrero Elementary
These 4th, 5th and 6th grade children enjoying reading their letters brought by the Ambassador Monarchs. They were highly concentrated and enthusiastically doing their best to respond to their Northern counterparts. See them writing their letters, telling about their friends, their school and their family. One photo shows Chess Game and Book Manual to learn to play Chess. Students also lectured to their classmates on Monarchs' Migration, Life Cycle of Monarchs and conservation challenges.

Like Miguel Hidalgo Elementary, this school and the families of children attending it live in the surroundings of Angangueo town. They make a living in countless ways except from monarch butterfly tourism. Most parents work on agriculture. In absolutely all of these families, there are several members of the family working in big cities in México, and at least one member (father, brother, sister) working somewhere in the United States, providing financial support to their relatives here.
