Los Samaritans!


From the Sonoran Desert at the U.S. Mexico border, Shura Wallin of the  Green Valley Samaritans, brought to us the story of many emigrants that will never have the opportunity to see their lovers one again and others may will never try to cross the border and others still dreaming with the American dreaming in hope to give to themselves and their families a better life.  

La virgin de Guadalupe. Where people in the border find a comfort to their destiny, the creation of human being in the creation of Mesoamerica through different groups and ethical backgrounds, the history of every human being migration that is happening in all over the world, she is talks about the experience on being in the desert.

The importance to know where you are that most of the migrants do not know, they are in the hand of the coyotes who only look for the money and sometimes this poor people find them death, the coyotes had asked for their relatives cell phones and call them saying that they have their children, father, mother or any member of them family and they ask for money to give them back. When the coyote does this is because this person is allred dead.  If they can not continue; they are left behind and promised that someone will come to help them, what do not happened so often. As an example: Rozeline, 14 years old try to cross the bother with her 10 years old brother. She got with a group of people to go to U.S. to get together with her mom. The coyote promised to send help when she could not continue. Her brother wanted to stay with her but she did not let him. The Samaritan funded her body later.

They founded days later a body of 62 years old men. The called his soon to tell his death and he neither did not know his father was coming back to US after leaving going back home. She has many objects left behind from the migrants that meaning a lot to her organization, since this people is coming to this country looking for a better life.

One day Christophe and his mom, Americans were going to a picnic on thanksgiving. When Christophe’s mom lost the car control, Manuel, a migrant who did crossed the bother so Christophe in the road with a dog, Manuel went to Christophe without speak any English. Manuel spend ed all night with Christophe and his mom who died in the morning. Without think Manuel whet out to look for help. Christophe as at this time orphan, since his father had commented suicide few months ago and now his mom were also dead.

For over years she has stories of death and love brought for this illegal immigrates who came to yours heart asking for help and love for and an opportunity to have a better life.
