Bussing-
I work for the International Community Foundation (http://www.icfdn.org), a 501c3 organization that works to increase charitable giving across U.S. borders to benefit overseas communities and nonprofit organizations. Last year, ICF donated over $5 million to organizations outside the U.S. in the areas of education, environment, health, community development, and culture and the arts. Over 75% of our grants go to Mexico -- we focus primarily on the U.S.-Mexico border region and the Gulf of California/Sea of Cortez regions.

Moving to Mexico means you can still have all of the amenities you grew accustomed to north of the border: cable TV, high-speed Internet, and modern home appliances," says Laura Sheridan, International Living's managing editor.
