Gone, going or Contemplating

---

I just got some pictures from Maria.  
 
When the first picture was a train...my mind knew exactly what that meant.  You see, we don't have any working trains in Honduras.  But they do in Mexico.  

This post could very easily take a political, governmental, or ideological bent quite easily, but that is not my point or concern right now.  

Maria got these pictures as two of the children from The Milk Project are on their way to the USA.  Their father was killed last year, and their mother made the decision to leave last Saturday.  I do not think at this point that they are part of the 800-1000 people that left recently from San Pedro Sula.

I read an article today that over 300 people per day are leaving (not counting caravans) trying to go to the USA, just from Honduras.  Not all of them make it.  

Jampool and Maddison are tonight in Tapachula Mexico (just across the border on the Pacific side from Guatemala) where they sent the first two pictures.

I imagine their mother has borrowed money to make this journey, hoping she will have steady work when they get to the USA, and that her children will get to go to good schools and grow up safe.    

Their little sister was left behind though, she is staying with her grandparents.    
 
More could be said.  Right now, I am just praying for safety on this most dangerous trek for the Jampool, Maddison and their mother.
