By the Mexico-based International TeamOn Saturday September 3rd, the WFP Mexico Team attended a special Mass for Migrants in Oaxaca. We were joined by a number of our partner organizations and several migrants staying at the local shelter, where we heard testimonials from migrants and a homily that urged all of us to act in defense of those who are forced from home.
