Hello, thank you for visiting this Blog. Today I invite you to read this reflection on migration and also date a couple of minutes to hear the story "Waiting for the Train" is "Another Note" does not include voices of bored and political liars, but a true story 5 Hondurans to hold on to the train passes through GDL order to reach the other side of the border.
This Saturday 18 December is International Migrants Day, the idea was to tell how the Central American migrants pass through the city of Guadalajara thus contacted dining volunteers FM4 Free Passage.
Zorro Tapatio Aque I invited to accompany me during the tour of the tracks. Here we find Calvin, Jeffrey, Joshua, Javier and Miguel Angel. We talked with them and with Fernando Valencia, a bright young, socially responsible, inspiring us to learn about how the dining FM4 Free Paso, where migrants help them with food, blankets and a space to rest.
At 7 pm, the dining room was closed. It was time to leave the tracks. Would they pass the train?. Are these 5 men achieved ride that night?, There were many questions in the air combined with the taste of paddles that gave a family that crossed the railroad tracks.
was 8 o'clock at night and got a call on my cell phone, was the head of Radio News UdG "Pris, you go live at 8:45." I responded to the producer "I feel that at this time and will not be around these guys, best enlázame at 8:10, at best." Joshua asked me for one day a phone call, quickly signed up for my data sheet. Damn, do not enter the pen! .. I sensed that they were about to leave, the Fox approached me a pen, he signed up with a terrible point my phone and email. Joshua saved that little piece of paper. 8:10
got the call Producer News: List, enter the air!. Pablo Hernandez, driver night space introduced me and started talking about the high FM4 .... The train stopped. The five migrants began to run, the air still while narrating what he saw, my voice cracked, my ideas were distorted by emotion, not wanted to say goodbye but I was happy that as they wanted, that day the engineer was slow and it was easier to jump on the bandwagon. As it turned imagine what they wanted: to pass the train and to do so slowly. Joshua was giving the interview to he said "Now I have to get on the train."
radio work because I love the sounds will stimulate the emotions and ideas, I am passionate about the sounds and silences because they help us a complete story. Dale click here and listen to that link.
From that moment, I just remember the shadows, the bodies perched on wagons while my chest was sunk by the emotion and pain. They just stretched their hands saying "goodbye." The fox carried the recorder, which captured the sound of the train, and he does not know but was also saved his cry of "Luck" I still had the radio link, eager to hang up and let go to mourn. No personally said goodbye, I never had happened during an interview, he always gave me time to finish, thank you, give you my book and say goodbye grateful for your time and trust. Paul always says "Be careful what you wish for." That day when evening met wanted to "pass the train today who do not have to be more days in this city where rob and insult."
My wishes were fulfilled and at the same moment the link to the nightly news on Radio UdG. Monica Salmon, FM4 group says I have luck because many reporters are going to the tracks in looking for that moment and never live.
After he left the train. I cried on the train tracks. The Fox hugged me and cried. Within hours, we fell in love with these migrants who have experienced violence, discrimination and hatred in Mexico. At that time, I thought how the fuck we do the reporters to carry so many stories in memory, how we are able to reach someone to ask you to tell us their lives and then leave?.
concluded that one of the best ways to download these emotions was writing and telling about what happens, narrated these other notes that were not on the agenda of the media, concluded that it is necessary that as reporters speak with respect to who write, I realized that working in a media is a megaphone to denounce injustice, impunity, pain, violence but also to talk about hope and struggle.
Before the train passed, there was time to talk to Calvin, Jeffrey, Joshua, Javier and Miguel Angel so you can hear how it was his time in Mexico, where they were beaten and robbed insulated but also aided by volunteers from the group FM4 Free Passage to understand that being a migrant does not mean you have rights and dignity.
Here you can hear the full stories of these five migrants ...
Today I hope these five migrants are in place they dreamed of, I hope one day my phone rings and Joshua is telling me how it went. He promised, I await your call ... I hope, I hope ...
