The organizer of the Great American Clean Up headed down to Del Rio Texas where an army of volunteers will conduct a massive anti-trash and litter campaign in September.
John Rourke went there this week to finalize logistics.
But he was shocked to see how open the border is along the Rio Grande. And he found a humanitarian crisis far more severe than many of us realize. Meeting and talking to people who walked 45-hundred miles from Brazil to get to the United States. (Not all of them were from South or Central America by the way).
Now his efforts are expanding from a garbage clean up to a humanitarian relief effort.
After listening you may very well want to help, either with goods or money. Or by volunteering for the event which will take place on the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. To help, go to www.travelingtrashmen.com.
