Below is Harlem's Thank you drawing to all of you who made a donation for his leukemia treatments...his family has obtained a medical visa for a year with help from the refugee house and they have a place to stay in Chiapas for the treatments. Thank you all so much, I have received many notes of thanks about this from the Honduran family, but nothing quite like Harlem's drawing :)<img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/32789558_1568666337400848_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" alt="32789558_1568666337400848_r.jpeg" /> Every year I work with children at a Refugee House in Mexico City. These kids are from Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras - even Africa, fleeing violence (El Salvador and Honduras have the two highest murder rates in the world).  <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Voluntariado-SMR-1817993538521010/?fb_dtsg_ag=Adxf7YYQ8D34fWhPfsR_5omq48qvKqE7d-g5nYDayz5NxQ%3AAdytFyB_TKGIIb7lnEyo8pXtSsu4FQhND8H7stsO2wb7TQ">SMR</a>  (Scalabrinianas Mision Con Migrantes Y Refugiados) houses about 50 refugees at a time, for a period of 3 months and works to get them asylum from the Mexican Government. SMR continues to have a high success rate. <img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/32789558_1536364478997673_r.jpeg" alt="32789558_1536364478997673_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" /> They've got a great group of volunteers - lots of students and sweet old ladies. With the money raised, we're basically helping feed, clothe and house people (They have 4 dorms: men, women, families, and transpeople, with laundry services on the roof) <img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/32789558_1536364841949509_r.jpeg" alt="32789558_1536364841949509_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" /> I make lesson plans for the kids, take them to the park, do coloring and arts &amp; crafts - and sometimes I even cook. I never thought I'd be a novice nun, but the Scalabrinianas (good social justice nuns) have jumped me in and I'm honored to be a part of their mission which has expanded into a nonprofit with a full-service approach staffed by secular professionals, such as doctors, psychologists and university-trained social workers. <img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/32789558_153636552172961_r.jpeg" alt="32789558_153636552172961_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" /> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Voluntariado-SMR-1817993538521010/?fb_dtsg_ag=Adxf7YYQ8D34fWhPfsR_5omq48qvKqE7d-g5nYDayz5NxQ%3AAdytFyB_TKGIIb7lnEyo8pXtSsu4FQhND8H7stsO2wb7TQ">SMR</a>
