This is a blog that will try to share some of the different experiences and stories I run across as I live and work among the local immigrant and migrant populations in South-Central Pennsylvania. These stories are from a largely Spanish-speaking population, though there will be characters from Haiti, Pakistan, and many other places that take the stage from time to time.
The goals of this blog are three-fold. In no particular order of importance, they are as follows:
- to give you, dear reader, the chance to be a witness to a whole world that you might not otherwise have any idea exists.
- to give a voice to the joy, grief, struggles, and triumphs of a community that has been largely unheard.
- to give us a safe place to think and wrestle with some very hard questions that may be raised as a result of some of the stories we will share.
I hope you will embark on this journey with me, and hopefully, we may all end up wiser, braver, and more compassionate then we were before.
Vaya con Dios,
Peregrin
Looking forward to reading more!
