The answer is hope. With the difficulties and the lack of services, there is hope in Juarez. People have flocked here to find work in the factories and assembly plants. Many have left home in the interior, where there is no perceived hope for them, and have come searching for something better. On arrival, many of these people find there is little help for them here, but there is hope of work.
Work means food and clothing and hopefully, shelter.
Juarez is our neighbor. Jesus spoke of a Samaritan who found a man lying wounded and in need of care. This man stopped and provided him with the care while others passed him by. In my little story, Juarez is the man wounded and in need. We are next door and observing the plight of the needy there.
