Aziz: Home is where I feel welcome. A home
means that I have refuge when I'm having
issues outside wherever those issues
are from. When I come to a place like
like I say like here I feel that people
are welcoming me regardless of who I am
where I come from and what my values are.
Cyril: Home means a quite a peaceful place where
you can live with the family happily you
earn enough that your kids can go to a
good school your kids can eat enough
they can sleep freely they can breathe
freely. Jaén: To me my home is my community
they are are the people that I am
accountable to and they are the people
that I and thet I'm dedicated to serving.
And so most of the people that I that I
serve or that I work with are are
immigrants from Mexico and and many of
them undocumented immigrants. My name is
Jaén Wella I'm from Mexico and Southern
Mexico planet Bandler raised in Los
Angeles in Albuquerque New Mexico.

And I would like you to just share with
each other a story of a time you felt at
home in Albuquerque. Jaén: Well the things that
I see that the city's doing through this
program is that they're actually
listening to the voice of other people
and not just starting in an organization
out of nowhere or not starting an
organization out of a lot of
recommendations from from people in
power who are making decisions for for
the immigrant and Refugee community.
Aziz: First of all I'm excited that finally
there is
a recognition by the city of the
refugees and other immigrants not from
Latin America that are present in
Albuquerque. Cyril: These guys are doing great
[Peaceful Music]
I wish them luck. More people they are
stuck in different countries they are
persecuted I wish they can come to a
safe place and spend a normal life.
