In Mexico, demand increases for specialization

A new Peace Corps program provides specialized  assitance to Mexico instead of the traditional eager pair of hands.  In this program the Mexican government reviewe the list of approved applicants  and then selected a team of economists and ecologists to assist Mexico's enivironmental agencies.  Generally the volunteers (average age: 48) help the Mexican officals run their own programs instead of doing field work. In Mexico this project is more useful and more likely to endure since it is seen as locally run. Its benefits are twofold : it is good for US-Mexico relations, helps Mexico out, and preserves the environment more effectively.  

This program seems important because it is a program where the US is legitimately actually helping Mexico as opposed to doing little to prevent gun transcations.
