Caravan Information you may not know.

Some little known information about the caravan.  This brief video explains how illegal immigration works. Last year, I wrote about how one night I stumbled on a bus full of Africans in Honduras making the same journey. Bottom line, it is not only folks from Latin America making the trip across Mexico.

A Happy Ending

This brief video shows some of the ways Art For Humanity helps people in practical ways.
