Las Patronas y la convivencia con los otros | Karina Aguilar (Las Patronas) | TEDxUNAMAcatlán

[Music]

for

good afternoon and good afternoon my name

is karina aguilar

I come from the employer and I am 22 years old

I thank you first of all because

invitation and the one that allowed me

to be here unfortunately good

I came on behalf of my aunts

because for this weekend comes the

caravan of mothers looking for six of

his missing

the caravan of mothers are therefore mothers of

Central America that are looking for their

children not then come this end of

week and that’s why they can not be

them here but good I’m in place

of them and then again I appreciate g

the invitation the theme that I put to the

time they asked me what was it

that is the topic I wanted more than anything

expose was the employers and the

coexistence with the other

I think that coexistence with the other is

very important, not because

regardless of having next to

a person sometimes look sometimes not

plates sometimes you can have as ideas

common or not but coexistence is the

that takes beyond not the one that gives is that

plus the one that leads you to agree I did not hear

be able to trust the other person

so that’s why he called it that and good

I’m going to tell you a bit obviously

the history of patron saints not of my

my grandmother’s aunts my grandmother is the one

good in which starts with this with this

labor more than 20 years ago and almost 22

years and well, it’s almost my age

almost not I had just been born when this

already started and it was something

selflessly not many ask

how it was that many were born

they question how the idea of how it is born

a project not that until faith until the

date is not supported as a

civil association but rather the

support that people have given during these

years and then like I do not know what

answer them not because first then I

I was not in that time living with my

aunts and with my grandmothers

so I do not know how it was that

they started no but what I’ve

listened to and what I

in them, everything started when it happened

the train through the community and suddenly

people were going on the train there were not people in the

train and they told them not to be lady

month your bag and so my aunts in that

Then they would buy milk at

sent and so and they asked for their things

then they saw them without knowing

who they were from where they came from

they went and because they were on the train or when

they arrive at my grandmother’s house because it is already

when they tell my grandmother not to

because this one we had to give things

to those on the train because they were not asked

So that’s where I did not even talk

do not kiss then how strange

and it was when he started this whole project

of agreeing and putting on

organize and see who had to

hoist and see who had to do

the things and this is how the

project then you can start

also to break through not to this world of

well of many obstacles that we have

to help the other person then

you already start with 30 lunches not now

already made more than 100 lunches before

because they were from the pain that already

they could give not of the own thing that already

they could put sugar of their possible

its of its basic basket not that each

It puts a kilo of beans put each-

a kilo of rice and so do not follow

cooperating between the week to see

who put things and that’s how

was starting the project without nothing

more not without needing someone who

could give such an exaggerated money and

that could support this cause not

now after that time passes and he

begins to know the subject then of the

patrons not like now you know very

nationally and sometimes internationally

when disclosed was the patrons

rather because it started to happen

very much the migration I do not think that

beyond the fact that the

group was the growing migration that

it came to be in the years 2000 2005

2010 that was a very big plus for

well for mexico because they started

climb a lot of migrant

Central American can mainly

Honduras the savior of Nicaragua

some and from guatemala was not when

begins to make known the patrons

because through a documentary that is

Nobody’s flame where a small part

and dining and begins to give

know no time later then make a

cortito and like that and he was making himself known

the work and the people came not and it was

Seeing then the work that was done in

the dining room was learning that what

that was done in the dining room and so not

then, obviously, when it occurs

to know the work as it begins to arrive

people not to visit people to start

to donate as they see it there in one of the

photos start donating things in kind

tuna rice tuna cans and everything and

start to get people to visit the

dining room and live the experience that

is to feed the migrant, not what is

definitely a very experience

different not then when people

then start to put especially in this

and this is how all this has been put

time not to start helping the

people when when they start doing

all this because I studied not a

little telling him what I was doing in

the dining room this and because I’m here

also that’s why it’s not because I

for example I went to school between

week and weekends was when

I dedicated myself to doing the work that

I played in the dining room

it was my turn on Saturdays to go to

all day dining there and there

It was also where I learned to cook 20

kilos of rice that already that’s a

triumph does not suffer that you can already invite me

to their weddings and and so the pan of

huge rice has already been seen and I get

well before it burned I get it out

dejected and that’s how I feel sorry but

Then I learned

Now, check the rice very well

then they have been processes of change not

of the people or where I personally

I can say that he has learned a lot

of this work I have first learned

very much obviously from my mother

the capabilities that we can have as

people and also the other people do not

of the other people with whom you live and

of the other people you sometimes listen to from

what they talk to you and who live in their

countries and what they do in their countries and

how their country treats them and what for

that is that sometimes they run away from this but

good coming back a little bit to how it was

my day

this murderer then guízar when in

the 2010 2009 2008

passed that great amount of people that

Come in the photo is not a lot

so the full trains went by

full of people or easy Ivan

in a train 500 people 300 people

so on average not in a day they reach

Pass three trains

well then it was one of being hoist to

noon and yes I know if that was going

amount of rice re – check other

20 kilos for the next for the

next train and attend the pass

finished I tired so tired

I could not bathe because I was

very hot hands are

organizing and so not but it was when

was the food when it was when you do

as with that intention to leave

if it is a truly enormous happiness the

what it feels like when a person receives

It’s the lunch and you know he’s going to eat

your hot rice that is going to eat

tortillas that you are putting them not that

is going to eat the beans that is

serving and that is something that goes more

there not beyond the things

what are you doing and what will you be

for three hours and mediating the rice and

they go in five minutes I do not think that’s

something very special when you live it

then this one because that’s how the

large amounts of people

before when this is given with the plan

southern border of 2012 as

the amount of migrants decreases a lot

that obviously happened on the train

and this was like you can not sure it’s already going

to close the dining room and then see what

they do or amnesty know what they did not

but this one but no no it did not happen that

what happened was rather that the people

I arrived walking rather it arrives

walking

many of the migrants keep going

between itself lowered the amount of how

they saw in the previous photo this one went down

very much the amount of now spend 80

100 people on the train but a lot of

the people who arrive arrive walking to

dinning room

that’s why the dining room has already turned

also shelter

that was a difference of the good was a

of the differences I had with the

hostels that many of us have not know

if I listened as the hostel of the

father alejandro solalinde as the

hostel that are full and that of fray

you take that that was the difference

that in the hostels they can be

stay longer and here in the

dining a way to step now how

people have been coming walking and

groups of 20 people have arrived

of 10 people to the dining room

returned a hostel

the truth is that the ability then to

Sometimes we do not have it but it’s about

do everything possible because the people

aena as well as this and not

volunteers are also received how

they go to and in the photo when they like and

are invited to go to the dining room to live

as well as this experience because more

beyond that maybe many the best

or some of us can see it as not

well, you’re already seeing yourself as a

more to go and meet the month

I do not know if I explain myself but well this one in

the sense that there is a way

of commercial

I explain myself to give you how to

patrons plus this boom in the sense of

that they will not know and live the

experience is not today as very commercial

live the experience but I think that

yes

the xiv when you go and you really do

for wanting to help change all that

perspective not because apart

you know the people who are in the

dining room that are my aunts and is another

way to see the new ones better here

they are only photos and so on but

when you know them

Well, you have another concept totally

different

rye and those were one of the pots

with plates that here the bean was made

already on the other side, because rice was made

not like that

so everything is big as there was

what is my pink aunt who is

cooking not and so ‘the beast’ all the

weather

This and well, that was when

we deliver this the bags not to the

migrants and give them everything then the rice the

bean is already packaged and so

I told them through many of the

migrants who now arrive because now

it’s not like that not now, they’re in a

time in the dining room can rest

because sometimes those who come to and the

dining room because they are already getting bad from the feet

not all of them are tired at their feet

very much cut off sometimes and and they have been

given they are given as a week or more the

time they want to be there in the

dining room so they rest and so that

recover strength to continue because

end sometimes many of projections

What we have is that nothing else comes

to stay in mexico not many come and

if they want to get to the United States and if

they want to keep going, and and that’s not

that sometimes because sometimes and good some

that another wants to stay but not all

not everyone is what they want me to be and

well here also not at night

they donated that van they did not donate

is in 2009 and that we

serves for itself for everything not when there

a sick migrant take him to and the

gathers of bread and this one when it stops

the train there is a stop a change

rather it was because they were going to

leave fast food to migrants and

that’s when we have us as the

cup not the ability but rather the

time to talk with them not from

tell us how is your life in Honduras

because they came many came

obviously because of the war

Well, it’s not war, but it’s

defined as war because bad because

they are always charging fees

the government does not do anything they have to

be paying always if they have a

It costs to pay for that store, not if

they have a good cup then the same then

they always have to be paying

to the fees of the hands because if not

they take things or their children

the youngest ones that are already growing

they have to form them for the mornings

but this one for that reason in the year 2012 it

gave a very large increase in

children deported good children

deportees from mexico to central america

for the same reason because they were traveling

this alone because they were coming out

another point is also made in the

2015 turned 21 years old and already

party and so and then there is the picture

of that and well that’s what I say

not the change of track then so heaps

of people and then it did not reach the

food the slices prepared no longer

reached then was to bring is not

literal for nothing else this alone and so

they grabbed him but a cloth

even if it is to take it

that’s how it was like that was the amount of people

what happened then, but why not

they have to live and good what has been

done a lot of what has been done in the

dining because that’s what I tell them

receive the caravan of mothers who

this right now that the weekend is

when they are going to arrive and there for example

we have what we do every time

that a migrant arrives to write it down to write it down

put your data their names where it is

if you want to leave phone and so on

what because when mothers arrive

well you in this record do not see that

record and b if any of your

children has gone through there and if they can

some at some point find it not the

last year for example the in the

caravan and in the dining room a reunion

of a mother with her son who had like

five years ten that he had not

viewed

then there he went to give a

reunion this year is just going to give

a reunion there in the dining room on the 19th

of this month

then there is the other photo that more or

except that is the dining room there is not a room

up one room down

here are the volunteers below

are the migrants that stay and there

from the view is the kitchen and this one

but not like this

so we have received the amount of people

in

2010 there was a caravan that was

organized by the father and so Alejandro

in 2010 when it was Easter

they got here until here to the

street

well here not in the district p

and this time we had to take them to

social room from there of the community

because they obviously did not fit in the

dining room is very small then

there were a lot of people like that a

lots of migrant women with children

this whole families men a

lots of people were pans

add pans of coffee pans

of rice and so a lot of people but

also that is the most beautiful thing is not

that many people know that you can

coexist with people and they tell you

many things in her life was not

last year

this was last year that equals already

it was in the dining room and they had to

be there in all this part that this

be everywhere where there is no house

because there is land nothing else stood out

well mattresses that donated and there there

all non-migrants went to bed

in, then moms with the children and

so but it has always been no duty

at that precise moment that they are made

we help and everything

then that is also the father no longer

at the end that we run but the

solved

good many migrants many of the

migrants because we do not see them because

they always happen like this in the on the train and

because nothing else is to raise your hand

literally and that they take the lunch and

no longer but many times we can

know the ones like them as many

other migrants who have been in the

dining room like many others that later we

and then add on facebook and

are in states or not those are the most

young because the gentlemen

but this one but many of them because we

they attack facebook no and not that I’m already

in the united states and I thank you very much

and so one for example that happened in the

2010

this one is in the united states for

three years not since he spent 16 years

already

this and in so united states and already

when he writes us that there is karina

how is it like that then then

let me tell you that the Hondurans

he did very well of talkers and

so when they go or they do not create it

this but those things do not make you

how to believe and hope that the

people can get something more not from that

people if you keep that hope going to

follow there some of the events to the

that we have gone that thanks like this

event have been not others and that’s why

has been much more known the

work in the academic environment and

university and then some of these

this one we have gone for example there was my

this was my aunt is Aunt Spain

already my aunt came to know more here

roma and so has not been released

very much the work and I think it’s a

great reward that people have given us

do not

these are all and good as they did not come out

it’s because I’m here they do not use

this risk but there are

They are the same

but as I say, I think the most

important

good for me I feel like young

I am that the help I think not

I expected rather I did not expect the

be in the dining room that can support

to migrants

open me this other world would not have me

the power to be in is here the power

study study a career

university university the power

meet more people being able to be

talking to you

I think it has given me like those

tools not tools that that

later they will be paid back

the migrants because in the end

when you serve the other person you

you also want somehow not and

when you do not see it as a way to win

I think it’s grows a lot more is

that part does not inwardly grow and already

you can support a lot more people

so then I invite you and jazz

me
