Week 7: St. Theresa & St. Joseph- Monday

August 3rd, 2015

Today we had to work as a family to pick all of our harvest on our land and pay our loans. We had to get to the borderline of Mexico and the U.S. just to be able to get a better job. It showed us the of life as a migrant worker. It would take them months to cross the border into the U.S. while it just took us 200 pesos and ninja skills. After lunch we visited Sunrise Farms and played with the migrant children. We hardships played scatter ball with them and did arts and crafts. When we came back, we had a light snack of chips and salsa. We then split up into groups and went out to the local grocery stores. We asked people for food for the food drive. We carried all of the generous donations to the  basement of the church. Then we had a reflection of the day. After that we ate dinner with solidarity soup. Then we had a big group discussion about the day and we had our free time.
