The fourth day

Yesterday we met three women who are all actively involved with the issue of immigration. The first two, Laurie and Jennifer, live on a ranch in the desert where migrants travel. They took us on a memorial walk to see three sites of where migrants had died while on their journey. This was a very powerful experience. The next woman we visited was named Shura. She is part of a program called the Green Valley Samaritans. They walk out into the desert and look for migrants that need help. They also collect items that the migrants left behind. We were shown many of these, and the children's items really stuck out to me. Once you are holding these items in your hands you realize that these were people's things that they had to leave so they could get to their freedom easier. When we got back to San Miguel high school, we ate dinner and then had a movie night. We watched "La Misma Luna". It was a really incredible movie that showed a young boy's journey to be reunited with his mother in the United States. I'm trying to forget that today is our last day because I want the experience to keep going!
