Make some time and take some time to watch this YouTube introduction to a film in progress. The complete documentary will be called A Trail of Thread.
The haunting music in the film clip is called Water in the Desert.
I live in the Sonoran Desert. I know many of the immigrants. I learned long ago that I cared little what language was spoken as I saw good people who worked hard for a living and loved and disciplined their children.

I love this group,Las Madres. They contacted me through you, thanks…I was invited to link with them…their work is so moving.
Thanks for your comments and for being intentional about cross cultural work you promote. Yes we all have the same goals for the children that come after us. As the elders say, what we do today will touch at least 7 generations after us, move with intention.
