En navidad y año nuevo, usualmente se piensa estar en compañía de los seres queridos y de la familia. Sin embargo, hay situaciones en las que no puede ser de esta manera. En las siguientes líneas se pretende hacer visible la experiencia de vivir estas fechas, desde la propia voz de las personas que viven en La 72.
En Camino: Christmas in “La 72 and Launch of the Volunteer Campaign
From the Franciscan Network for Migrants, we invite you to participate in the celebration, “Christmas at La 72” and the launch of the 2021 volunteer campaign. We are also taking part as an organization that will receive volunteers during the next year .
When a new life arrives, there is joy
Sometimes when you hear about migrants, you think the worst, but in reality this is not the case. Today we want to share the greatest and most sacred thing that exists in the world, which is life itself, as a gift from God to the world, to society and the family.

Understanding, building and growing the Network
Program Focus
Capacity-Building
Members of the Network are already providing a myriad of resources to migrants. Network members will be able to enhance each other’s work by sharing information and resources via different media (bulletins, meetings and gatherings, capacity-building seminars, resource and route maps, threat advisories, etc.) that they can then pass on to migrants in their care along the route.s.
Support and Protection
Members of the Network will foster the establishment of migrant centers, shelters and houses of refuge in areas where there is a lack of resources by connecting donors to new and ongoing programs.
Advocacy and Collaboration.
Fidelity to the Gospel message compels us to not only to recognize the face of Christ in the poor and the excluded, but also to engage in a social analysis to identify the processes of impoverishment and exclusion e.g. root causes, agents, victims, mechanisms and consequences.
