Peru, Dominican Republic, Angola, Congo, Colombua, Ecuador, Bolivia - and then India

This morning there were about 45 refugees huddling, trying to sleep in the cold when we got there. Lots of small children coughing & snuffling. One little baby burning up.

Most of the refugees were escaping the violence in Peru but there was a family from Colombia who had no idea Biden has put them on the exclusion list.Today there are at least 45 refugees here at the border when we arrive. Most have spent the entire night and are very cold. Even though we leave blankets, there's probably not enough or also not warm enough as they are sleeping on the ground.

Anyway, by the time the van arrived there were 60 people: a man from Congo, another from Angola, Ecuador, Bolivia again, and then another group of about 8 coming from Colombia. I have to THANK all the womyn who stepped up & donated so I could cook & feed folks. I didn't have time to take a picture of the wraps yesterday but today I made 60 more quesadillas & I'll attach that picture.

Most refugees today are from Peru and the Domican Republic but also another family with three children from Bolivia, a man from Angola and another man from Congo. Colombia and Ecuador are also represented.

The border patrol comes early today - this group is gone to be processed by 10a.m. By 11, a group of about 15 young men from India show up. A few came in a small group but most of them found each other along the journey
