Steve and Molly Saunders Present “What’s going on at the border?” Join Steve and Molly Saunders for a talk about their three weeks volunteering recently in El Paso, Texas. As former Peace Corps Volunteers in El Salvador, Steve and Molly decided it was time to be proactive, and headed for Texas to volunteer in a church-run shelter for migrants coming from Central America. They will share their experiences and describe what they found during their stay. Who are these asylum seekers? Why are they making this dangerous journey to the US? How are they being treated while in detention? How were these people helped on their way by volunteers working at these shelters in El Paso once the migrants were released from detention? And what can be done in the future about this human situation? Join us at the Library (Lower Level)
