Sunday at the Migrant Camps


The keeper left at 6 this morning and headed to meet her young adults for a trip to Burlington.  The young adults are taking on another ministry--with the indigenous migrant workers at the camps.  Today they attended a Mass and had a tour of some of the camps and met some of the children.  They were both inspired and shocked, the keeper said. The children loved playing with them.  But  some of the young adults' dogs have better homes than the lodging which is given to the workers' families. Some of the units have four rooms and in there are families of 16 living in each room.  The running water is outside, the communal bathrooms and showers are in separate outbuildings. It is a sin that anyone would allow human beings to live like this.  Pet shelters are way better.
