"Mi Jornada (My Journey)" , 2014
[M2-8]

Dayana is 7 years old from Guatemala. In this picture she drew her journey to the United States. Her and her mother first travelled by car and then by bus. She remembered that the road was long and gray (left side). Her picture narrative ends with them crossing the Rio Grande on a makeshift raft (lancha). She first drew the rocks (piedras) in the river and next the river banks. She then drew the makeshift raft in the middle of the river with her and her mother inside it. Volunteer Gregory asked "did anyone say goodbye to you?" She replied "my aunt." She placed her aunt on the Mexican side of the river waving goodbye. Volunteer Gregory then asked, "was there anyone else?" Not saying anything, she removed the rosary from around her neck and traced the crucifix over the Rio Grande. She then bagan to sing the hymn, "En la Cruz, en la Cruz, yo pimero vi la luz, y las manchas de mi alma yo lavé, y allí por fe yo vi Jesús, y siempre feliz con El seré (At the Cross)." Her and her mother sang those words while on the raft.
