Headlines covered the media with the danger surrounding the Juarez area. CNN has come out with a new report. The danger lies within the 12 foot chain link fence of the Emmanuel Home. The home's playground has been listed in the top 5 most dangerous play facilities in the WORLD right behind LA's Compton and just ahead of Brooklyn's Rucker Park. The volunteers of the home were interviewed in a documentary with Larry King and they mentioned that the scary part of Mexico isn't the drug lords or gang members, its the 200 hundred little arms and legs kicking and throwing every type of ball you can imagine. Inside this these walls of horror, being attached by a six year old boy or girl jumping from the sixth row of bleachers grabbing onto your sun burn neck is a far cry from the uncommon. Local staff member and former student of the home Aaron had this to say, " I am not so much afraid of local gangs as I am of the 50 soccer balls being kick at one time in my direction. These children have the leg strength of ninjas."
Sadly before we could finish the interview with Aaron he was hit in the groin by a playground ball traveling at the speed of approximately 100 miles an hour. We were forced to leave before the interview was over or before we could find out the status of Aaron. The Emmanuel Home's teroristic threat level was raised from a yellow to a severe red. More later from Juarez.
