Hungry and Desperate
The human stories and challenges never end here. Just as Dick returned from the Quince Anos celebration in Church, a girl who looked 12, but says she is 15, said 8 members of her family are going to "the other side" - the USA, from Chiapas, on the train, (and that means riding on top of the freight cars) to look for work. This includes her little brothers. They stayed by the tracks and sent her to look for help so they could buy some food. She offered to wash the car, mop the floors, anything to earn a little money. We talked with her a while, gave her a bucket and rag, and when she finishes, will overpay her for the job. What would you do?
