To follow up on our excellent Immigration 101 discussion, this is an event to understand what is happening beyond our borders that causes so many people to leave their homes, families and cultures to make the perilous immigrant journey.

Close to the people most affected by oppression and poverty, Padre Melo is a soulful and analyst of the reality that the majority of Hondurans live. He is director of Radio Progreso/ERIC, a radio station center for reflection, research and communication at the service of the people throughout Honduras and Central America.
