Hola. Me llamo Lucia.
-
In English, that means
"Hello. My name is Lucia."
-
A lot of people don't know my real name.
-
Instead, they call me
and my family caminantes.
-
In English, that means people who walk.
-
Why do they call us that?
-
Where I come from, life is very hard.
-
There is no food or medicine or school.
-
My mom wants a good life for me,
-
so she packed our bags
and we started walking.
-
We walk across mountains.
-
We walk in the hot and the cold,
the rain and the sun.
-
We sleep on the street
when it is nighttime.
-
Sometimes it is fun adventure.
-
Other times, I'm scared and tired
and just want to go home.
-
But we keep walking and searching
for a good place to live.
-
It is not easy, but we are thankful
for the nice people who help us.
-
They give us food and water.
-
They give us medicine and rest.
-
And when we find our new home,
they will even help me go to school.
-
I hope we find our new home soon.
