En la primavera de 2023, Abara prestaba apoyo a un campamento provisional formado principalmente por venezolanos en un edificio abandonado de Ciudad Ju\u00e1rez. La siguiente historia trata sobre aquella \u00e9poca.<\/em><\/p>\n

Unas semanas despu\u00e9s de que un terrible incendio se cobrara la vida de 40 personas en un centro de detenci\u00f3n de migrantes en Ciudad Ju\u00e1rez, nuestro equipo y los voluntarios de Abara nos encontramos en medio de una emergencia humanitaria que se estaba desarrollando.<\/p>\n

Muchas familias que hab\u00edan huido de sus pa\u00edses dorm\u00edan ahora en las calles o en los parques, y algunas esperaban, en estado de shock, cerca del lugar del incendio, con la esperanza de recibir noticias de sus seres queridos. La mayor\u00eda hu\u00eda de la violencia, la pobreza o la persecuci\u00f3n en sus propios pa\u00edses, y no ten\u00edan ad\u00f3nde ir ni casi nada que comer. En medio de esta oscuridad, Rosi, nuestra coordinadora de equipo en Ju\u00e1rez, sinti\u00f3 la profunda convicci\u00f3n de que deb\u00edamos empezar a dar de comer a la gente.<\/p>\n

Con una financiaci\u00f3n inicial m\u00ednima proporcionada por una entidad colaboradora, se compraron pollo y arroz, que un chef venezolano cocin\u00f3 en un refugio para migrantes de una iglesia destinado a hombres, y luego los voluntarios los repart\u00edan cada noche entre los m\u00e1s necesitados.\u00a0La mayor\u00eda de los voluntarios eran ellos mismos solicitantes de asilo y se encontraban en una situaci\u00f3n apenas un poco mejor que la de quienes viv\u00edan en la calle.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/em>Uno de los voluntarios m\u00e1s amables y bondadosos ten\u00eda una mano gravemente lesionada.<\/p>\n

Una noche, nos detuvimos frente a un edificio de hormig\u00f3n abandonado y sin terminar que se hab\u00eda convertido en refugio para cientos de personas. En el interior hab\u00eda habitaciones improvisadas, creadas con mantas o cart\u00f3n, iluminadas por el resplandor espor\u00e1dico de peque\u00f1as hogueras en latas. Cuando tocamos la bocina, la gente sali\u00f3 en silencio, formando una fila que se extend\u00eda a lo largo de la cuadra, pasando junto a un mont\u00f3n gigante de basura. La tragedia, la tristeza, la amargura del dolor y la p\u00e9rdida eran palpables. Todos lo sent\u00edan.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\u201cIncluso a la sombra de la muerte, la belleza puede florecer\u201d.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Entonces, en medio de ese momento tan tenso, un joven sali\u00f3 del edificio con una guitarra gastada. Comenz\u00f3 a cantar con alegr\u00eda, primero al chef que hab\u00eda preparado la comida, luego a Rosi por su nombre, d\u00e1ndole las gracias a ella, dando gracias a Dios y bendiciendo a todos los que hab\u00edan venido a servir. Poco a poco, la multitud se uni\u00f3, aplaudiendo, con algunos ni\u00f1os bailando y cantando con \u00e9l.<\/p>\n

Fue un momento sagrado y emocionante. La alegr\u00eda se impuso al dolor. A medida que cada persona se acercaba a recibir su comida, las o\u00ed expresar su m\u00e1s sincero agradecimiento a los voluntarios.<\/p>\n

Aquella noche, sent\u00ed que la muerte no hab\u00eda vencido. Sent\u00ed que la alegr\u00eda no se opon\u00eda al sufrimiento, sino que formaba parte de lo que nos da fuerzas para soportarlo.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Las personas con las que nos encontramos aquella noche no se hac\u00edan ilusiones de poder confiar en sus logros, talentos o posesiones. Sin embargo, la alegr\u00eda se hizo presente: en las canciones, en la gratitud, en una comida compartida.\u00a0<\/strong>La alegr\u00eda se convirti\u00f3 en un desaf\u00edo sagrado contra la desesperaci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n

El Salmo 146 dice que\u00a0\u201cEl Se\u00f1or hace justicia a los oprimidos\u2026 da pan a los hambrientos\u2026 protege a los inmigrantes\u2026 ayuda a los hu\u00e9rfanos y a las viudas\u2026\u201d<\/em>\u00a0Incluso en los momentos m\u00e1s oscuros, Dios est\u00e1 presente.<\/p>\n

Incluso a la sombra de la muerte puede surgir la belleza. La esperanza perdura.<\/p>\n

\u201cRezo para que nuestras vidas est\u00e9n impregnadas de una alegr\u00eda que sea un acto de resistencia, y de una fe que reconozca la presencia de Dios, especialmente en los lugares m\u00e1s inesperados\u201d. \u2013 Sami DiPasquale, director ejecutivo<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
