A walk down memory lane


While writing has been a big part of REDA, unfortuately we have had to take a break for the month of October. To keep readers engaged through their busy lives, and to provide them a bit of respite within the safe borders of this site, here are some favourite reads of the editor:
​
Are Hospitals Spending Smart?
by Jesus Yanez, 2021

         Even though we all understand the importance of hospitals, most people take the public health sector for granted. The current circumstances have shown us how relevant and crucial is to have access to medical assistance. 
For instance, because of saturation, at the beginning of the pandemic, one big concern amongst all governments across the globe was the availability of emergency beds. Here, in the U.S., the government....

Sun Country Montessori: Serving El Paso’s Children
by Arlynne Martinez, 2019
           Sun Country Montessori is not a ‘traditional’ school with teacher-directed learning, but rather a more progressive style learning where teachers are guiding children through the learning process and encouraging independence.
The philosophy for this early childhood education was developed by Dr. Maria Montessori who believed in encouraging self-discipline and responsibility; her idea was essentially to “follow the child.” Dr. Montessori was born in Italy in 1870, attended the University of Rome in 1890 with the endorsement of Pope Leo XIII, became a woman’s activist, and was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in three consecutive years: 1949, 1950, and 1951....
The economics of Coffee Shops
by 
Keighton Allen, 2016
       Between the ages of 5-12, I spent several weeks of the summer on my great grandparent’s farm in a town satirically named “El Dorado” which is situated in the middle of Kansas. This town was anything but the “golden land”, but it was the first place I experienced the concept of a “third place” and place attachment.  
Every morning while in El Dorado, I would accompany my great grandpa to his usual rendezvous, “The Coffee Shop”, a dingy Coastal gas station and convenience store (ironically Coastal Corporation was acquired by El Paso Corporation in 2001). My great grandpa and his 70+ year-old friends would sit at the booths by the windows and talk about the weather, crop forecasts, and the Powerball, while I scanned the rows of junk food for a snack to enjoy, while coloring and drawing pictures.  
We hope these reads keep you warm while you think of what makes you Borderproud.
High Regards,
The Regional Economic Development Association
