20. SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Gael Magallanes, Venezuelan migrant:
"Little by little, we were given the leadership to look after the migrants. They were the ones who chose us and voted for us and advocated for us. We didn’t just stand up and decide we were in charge. No, it was the same migrants that gave us that role."

24. SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Gael Magallanes, Venezuelan migrant:
"We take care of many mothers who arrive (in the camp), single mothers who come with sick children. We give them milk and diapers. For example, if they are single mothers, we give them support for about 15 days because they all come without resources, as we did. But honestly, the priority here is the children."
