Descripción: A tired-looking man with his 4-member family stands out among the exhausted walkers at the reception center. *Jose has a story of struggle and despair, as well as of will and determination. He was kidnapped at the Colombian border and separated from his family for 24 hours. Now they only dream of starting a new life in Peru. “When you hear from your kids – Papa, I am hungry – and you have nothing to give them, it is very sad. It was also painful to leave my two older kids behind in Venezuela,” he says with a lump in his throat.
