Hello! My name is Alejandro Durazo and I am a senior at BASIS Tucson North, class of 2015. Students at our school have an accelerated curriculum highly saturated with Advanced Placement exams so that technically they are eligible to graduate junior year or participate in a final year that is far from normal. The first two trimesters of senior year focus on college applications and supplemental essays while our third trimester we are encouraged to create a research project to occupy our time for the remaining three months.

I decided to spend my new amount of free time away from school in Hermosillo, Sonora volunteering for the Mexican Red Cross. During my stay, I will be volunteering in a multitude of roles in the organization to ascertain a sense of the work done across the state of Sonora. My onsite advisers are Lic. Carlos Freaner Figueroa and Lic. Adrián Camou Loera.

The Red Cross here in Mexico does a tremendous job of providing reliable medical attention, all not for profit, and I wish to shine some light on the people who make that possible!

I am very grateful for this opportunity our school provides to conduct this senior research project (SRP) and look forward to my work with the Red Cross.

Thank you for reading, please feel free to leave comments.
