Written in collaboration with Baylor University\'s\' Social Innovation Collaborative, A Journey Toward Hope is a celebration of their humanity and an ode to the power of Hope and connection even in the face of uncertainty and fear.
Though their reasons for making the Journey are different and the Journey northward is perilous, the four children band together, finding strength in one another as they share the dreams of their past and the hopes for their future.
A Journey Toward Hope tells the story of Rodrigo, a 14-year-old escaping Honduran violence
Alessandra, a 10-year-old Guatemalan whose first language is Q\'eqchi\'; and the Salvadoran siblings Laura and Nando.
The majority of these children are non-Mexicans fleeing the systemic violence of Central America\'s "Northern Triangle" Honduras, El Salvador, and Guatemala.
