As Usman (a pseudonym) was describing his harrowing 10-week journey from Ghana through 10 countries to get to the U.S., Mama Jill was kindly asking the Spanish-speaking children running around the living room to calm down en espanol. It worked for a few minutes. A Guatemalan mother brought me some tea and a snack from the kitchen.
It felt like being in a home where there is a lot of love shared by grateful people.
