BOrder Visit January 27, 2019

Sunday, January 27th, 2019.  Afternoon at Roxham Road, USA.
A cold sunny afternoon.   While we were there two groups of people arrived at Roxham and a total of 6 people crossed into Canada: three adults and three children.

The first taxi brought a man from Haiti and his daughter of about 7 years old. He was anxious to cross and did not need extra warm things. The officer spoke to him in French and they crossed without incident.

Later a taxi arrived with a family from Nicaragua: mother, father, 8 year old boy and a baby about 10 months or so old.  We gave a couple of warm things.  Mom was carrying the baby and she was very scared.  Before she went to the border, she said 'God bless you.' and exchanged a hug with one of the volunteers.
