Safety of volunteers is the number one priority of the Flying Samaritans of SDSU. We will only be traveling as a group in Mexico during daylight hours. Volunteers will travel in caravans where each car has at least one spanish speaker, a person with cell service, and an executive officer who knows the directions to and from clinic.
