Identifying San Diego-Tijuana's
Shared Regional Assets
| • An emerging binational philanthropic
culture with institutions like the International Community
Foundation, the San Diego Foundation and the Fundacion Internacional
de la Comunidad (FIC) positioned to assist donors willing to support
border related issues on both sides of the line. • Our elders. In both San Diego and Tijuana there are a growing number of talented retirees who are living longer and who can can contribute much to the region. Because of the idiosyncrasies of Mexico’s education system, there are a sizable number of former school teachers that have retired at 45 and 50 years of age that could contribute greatly the region’s growing educational needs. |
• Our youth. A growing number of young people in San Diego and Tijuana are looking beyond the border that divides us and seeking to become part of a shared binational region. This remains one of the binational region's greatest untapped resources. • Our non-profits. There are a growing number
of innovative and successful binational partnerships already being
forged by non profits on a whole range of issues including urban
and regional planning, education, health and human services, the
environment and arts and culture. These partnerships and collaborations
are highlighted in the next section of this report. |
