Thank you for sharing your experiences. This was a powerful photo story. I spent five weeks on the border (on the Texas side) for work in May 2019 and this really resonated with me. I’d love to work on some volunteer photography/advocacy projects in the next year, so this was inspiring.

Thanks for your feedback Mary! Do you have a link to your 2019 work? I’m also trying to reach NGO’s to work there and/or in Latin America. Who knows, maybe we’ll see each other in the field! 🙏

I wasn’t there as a photographer. I was Active Duty Coast Guard and sent to work with US CBP during one of the big surges of arrivals crossing the border. I learned a lot from the experience and it’s heartbreaking to learn that the suffering continues. Thank you for your efforts to send help and share their stories. And yes, hope that we do!
