We opened with a brief presentation on the status of the Franciscan Network on Migration, and the development of the Network over the last 2.5 years. We then engaged in a collective presentation on the current context at each site represented, and each representative provided an update on what is happening in their region. We touched on the issues of Haitian migrants and the special challenges related to unaccompanied minors. At this point there was a more in-depth discussion about the relationship between migrant houses and the DIF administration.<\/p>\n

After the talk, we identified action items, including the preparation of a counterproposal to the DIF for 2022 and the creation of an inventory of needs to present to the broader JPIC network to generate support.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row use_custom_gutter=”on” gutter_width=”1″ _builder_version=”4.11.0″ _module_preset=”default” animation_style=”zoom” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.11.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_gallery gallery_ids=”4900,4898,4896,4894″ gallery_orderby=”rand” show_title_and_caption=”off” show_pagination=”off” _builder_version=”4.11.0″ _module_preset=”default” border_width_all=”2px” border_color_all=”#FFFFFF” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_gallery][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.11.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.11.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.11.0″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]

The team also touched on the issue of its structure and its relationship with the Network Coordination Committee. It was decided to meet monthly and under the coordination of Sister Lupita.<\/p>\n

After the meeting we had the opportunity to visit the Casa del Peregrino refuge in the Divine Mercy Parish. This shelter is currently closed for overnight guests, but continues to provide food and clothing to the migrants. We met with Ingrid, a Honduran migrant who is now settled in Puebla and directs the service to migrants. Ingrid shared with us about how they are helping migrants and how she deals with coyotes and other negative elements. The next day we visited the Church of Tonantzin and the main pyramid museum in Cholula.<\/p>\n
