The children we meet at Mexico’s southern border have hundreds of miles to go before they reach the United States. But they have already witnessed hunger, desperation and death.
The smell of burning wood and plastic hits us as we step out of the van. Smoke from campfires meets the cloud of dirt kicked up by our tires, stinging our eyes and leaving a scratch in our throats. In the near distance, you can hear children splashing and playing in the Suchiate River, which separates Mexico – where we are – from Guatemala. We head toward the murky brown water, walking under tall, thick trees shielding us from the day’s brutal sun.
They’re made of two large black inner tubes, tied together with rope and planks of wood across them to support goods and people. Sofia’s dad, Jeandry, is one of the men who – like a gondolier on the canals of Venice – stands on the back with a long piece of wood steering the raft. At any given time, you can see across the river to Guatemala as up to a couple dozen migrants pile onboard and make the roughly 8-minute trip, illegally crossing into Mexico.
