I just watched a news report: A father and 3 year old daughter lay dead half-submerged in the Rio-Grande river over which they tried to cross from Mexico into USA, fleeing from poverty and violence in their central American country of origin. I was left wondering: Is there something we can do to relieve poverty and achieve prosperity, and stop violence and achieve peace in central American countries?
