January, 2016
Some of the same migrants are back this year and after a very long day in the fields, some women are happy to learn sewing skills.
The paint job held up nicely in spite of the hurricane
The little ones are great welcomers!! Hola and hugs for us all
up to a certain age, the children do not go to the fields, are babysat and fed here at the alberque, one paid Mexican employee and many many Canadian volunteers on a daily basis.
play area and covered craft tables
The sewing room
girls washroom and shower area for after the fields
cooking zone, a few women each night do the tortillas and frijoles
Laundry area, such an improvement from last year
the dorms paint job held up well also, big relief for Dave and Rich. See the original paint job and laundry area tiling in last year's posts
