Proyecto Libertad

The Valley sees so many immigrants, and too many get taken advantage of as they try to make a better life for themselves and their families. Thankfully, some people try to help and look out for these vulnerable individuals.

Proyecto Libertad, a nonprofit community organization that promotes and defends human rights among the immigrant community, is one such group. Proyecto will hold its fourth annual fundraiser at 7 p.m. this Saturday in South Padre Island. The event includes food and music from Conjunto Aztlan.

These folks do a lot of good for a group that's all too often easy pickings for the unscrupulous, so go out and support them.
