At first glance, it is a BBQ like many others.

It takes me a while to notice the little autistic boy being fed by a teenager, or the man who walks up to the cook to ask if he can help, or the autistic teenager being hugged and talked to every now and then, or the girl who hands me a jacket because she thinks I might be cold. Welcome to Comunidad Los Horcones. Located 175 miles south of the US border and an hour's drive away from the nearest town, Los Horcones has overcome many obstacles in its 22-year history.
