On one of our trips to Mexico, we went to make a video about the kids. We had found them so delightful, so full of life and hope, that we wanted American children to get to know them better.

After we got home and the tape was being edited, we happened to meet Emilio Delgado, for many years "Luis" on Sesame Street, and he was happy to do the narration.

Student Life in Mexico , Featuring Emilio Delgado. VHS, 18 mins. Internet special, $19.95.
 

Children’s television personality Emilio Delgado narrates your journey into the heart of Mexico. Visit Mexican children in their classrooms, at home, at work, and at play. See both city and country life.

What do Mexican children like to do?
What do they study?
Is there homework?
What sports do they enjoy?
What do they wear?
What are their favorite foods?

All of these questions, and many more, are answered in this lively video which captures the spontaneity and interests of Mexican children.

Some basics of the geography and history of Mexico are also included. (Although the program was made for children, many adults have told us they enjoyed it also.)
