Lost: Children of the River

Two years after the story of unaccompanied minors at the Southern U.S. - Mexico border broke worldwide, the humanitarian crisis is still on-going in spite of the very clear fact that the media attention on the crisis has largely dissipated.

The refugees continue to struggle through a long, arduous, and perilous journey to reach their promised land. It is a movement of humanity of epic proportions which will change the face of America-mostly for the better-as most influxes of immigrants in America's past have done. This is truly a crisis like few that we have seen.

With this publication we, the editors, artists, writers, poets, photographers, and contributors hope to give pause to our busy, fast-paced lives and acknowledge that these children and mothers are people who deserve at the very least our compassion, and at the most our refuge.
