In Carmen’s Hands (World Affairs, Podcast)

QUITO, ECUADOR – A few months ago, the California based World Affairs podcast contacted me to talk about a previous article I had written about Carmen Carcelen, an Ecuadorian woman who lives in the small town of Juncal, near the border with Colombia, and turned her home into a shelter for Venezuelans migrating through. By 2019, she had received over 8,500 Venezuelans through her home.

This is the podcast that resulted from that talk.

This is the original article from 2019.
