Our names are Juan Narvaez, Melvi Cifuentes and Alana Collins. We’re students at Missouri State, and we spent our winter intersession week in San Antonio helping women and children build their cases about why they should be able to remain in the United States.

We walked away as politically engaged leaders who care about global issues, and the people for which our assistance meant the difference between life and death.

This is part one of a four-part series. This is our story.
