The reality of life on the borderlands is much more complex and unjust than most people realize. Hope 4 Humanity offers an experiential learning pilgrimage that explores the causes and difficulties of migration, as well as the impact of U.S. immigration policies. This pilgrimage will bring to the forefront the voices of migrants and people who are committed to social change through hands on experiences like visiting migrant shelters (in the US and Mexico) and interacting with migrants at the bus station as they travel to their sponsors all over the US. We will learn about the economics of migration.
Some of the activities also include meeting with the Border Patrol and Missionary Willie Bearman (in Mexico). We will visit the historic Jackson Ranch Church and meet with the Carrizo Comecrudo Tribe and other learning and relationship-building activities.
