We waved good bye very early ( 6 am) on Sunday morning as the keeper left us again. She did give us lovely food, and Alice had to take her pill. She headed to Burlington to join her young adults in their work with the children in on of the Burlington migrant camps. They brought up 100s of tamales and rice and cookies, as well as games and art supplies. The sad thing was that because of the weather the strawberries weren't ready for harvest so the parents were also still in the camps without work. The children were really hungry and these little people had two, three helpings. Then they fell into a beading/ bracelets and necklace making trance. Some of the children spoke more English than the young adults.
They also speak Spanish and Mizteco. They are from southern Oaxaca in southern Mexico.
