Welcome Samuel Pérez to the Global Immersion’s team! Samuel has been our partner and teacher in Tijuana for over four years and we are grateful beyond words that he has joined our team to lead the Borderlands Initiative.

Under Samuel’s guidance, the Borderlands Initiative is meeting humanitarian needs, establishing a network of dignifying shelters & creating jobs for migrants in Tijuana. It’s what peace looks like as it mobilizes faith leaders to do the same in their cities.

Who is the AMAZING man behind this vision??

Samuel Pérez was born and raised in México City. At age 19 left his hometown, lived in a human behavior experimental community in northern Mexico. Lived “legally” in Tucson, AZ for eight years and two in California’s central coast where he was exposed to experiences of immigrants and immigration. Since 2010 he is a Tijuana based Urban Agriculturist, deportees and immigrants rights activist. He promotes the switch from the old paradigm of helping in a vertical-charitable way which generates dependence, to a new horizontal-solidary way which promotes dignity.
