Viewing "Migrant Worker Camp" by IMaGINAtionGIESE

Migrant Worker Camp

Migrant Worker Camp

We went to Vicente Guerrero, Mexico – while there we stayed at an orphanage and played with the kids. The orphanage was also connected with helping children who live at a migrant worker camp in town.

This picture was taken while we were playing with the kids at the migrant worker camp. Their parents were in the fields and leave them to fend for themselves during the day. They kept climbing all over us begging for us to give them piggy back rides. One little girl gets discouraged at the competition and starts walking away with her string – the string was her toy that she wouldn’t put down. You can see the shacks in the background – it was about the length of a football field – and several hundred people live in there together – with a big hole off to the side for everyone to go to the bathroom in.
