opportunity to share their realities.
Participation is FREE.
Please apply by September 25, 2009 at 4:00pm (application form & info sheet

What is the purpose of the project?
· Provide skills based development using the arts, specifically photography,
arts, film and sound
· Use methods of popular education to create an accessible and dynamic space
to facilitate discussion
· Build process based decision making skills

Participants will receive technical media training facilitated by Point Youth
Media to introduce them to photography as a means of individual expression.
These classes deliver skills for participants to think abstractly about larger

cameras, take and process their own photos, and together select those they
would like to showcase at a community exhibit.

Asesinan a canadiense en Isla Mujeres
Andrés Núñez
Elementos policíacos capturan al presunto responsable cuando salía del departamento de la mujer
CANCÚN.-Elementos policíacos de Quintana Roo capturan a un individuo, que asesinó a puñaladas a una mujer canadiense al interior de su departamento.
Elementos de seguridad pública municipal realizaban un recorrido, cuando alrededor de las 9:50 horas recibieron un aviso de la central de radio para que acudieran a un domicilio para verificar la presencia de una persona sospechosa.
El mismo reporte detalla que en el lugar indicado, los elementos policíacos detuvieron a un joven cuando salía de la unidad con manchas de sangre en la ropa y cuerpo.
El sospechoso trato de huir pero fue asegurado y trasladado al Centro de Salud para su certificación médica, y posterior presentación ante el Ministerio Público.
Los policías encontraron en un departamento de la citada unidad a la sexagenaria, originaria de Montreal, Canadá, ultimada de al menos 21 puñaladas.
El cadáver de la extranjera fue trasladado por la tarde del jueves al Servicio Médico Forense en Cancún.
El presunto asesino identificado como José Palacios Garza, de 24 años y originario de Nuevo León, dijo que se desempeña como lanchero y que asesino a la mujer por motivos personales; aunque se especula que el móvil fue el robo o la negativa de pago de favores sexuales y permanece preso en la cárcel municipal de esa ínsula.
