"Our migrant children, they are our only hope, like seedlings, they have been sown in your schools. It is our wish they blossom into harvests of hope."
"Los ninos, son nuestra unica esperanza, son como semillitas que nosotros hemos sembrado en sus escuelas. Ojala se conviertan en fruto, estas cosechas de esperanza..."
