Today we participated in a water drop at a shrine made by migrants. A gallon of water weighs approximately 8 pounds, plus we carried our own water and a back pack. The journey was hard, the ground rocky, the trail was narrow and steep. We walked for only two hours and were exhausted. Leaving water and cans of frijoles for the people passing through was more than just a humanitarian mission. For us it was personal. We, for a short time, walked in the shoes of a migrant. And it was scary.
