There were approximately 200 to 300 people present, coming from as close as Pico-Union, to far away Chino, Indio, and Sacramento. The first parent workshop was inspiring because the parents were eager to share the stories of their children, some of whom had given up on getting to college because they lacked the information and knowledge of others that were in their situation. After the workshop they eagerly bought books as gifts to their children in hopes that they will serve as the tool that fuels their desire for an education. The student workshop that followed gave students an insight into the lives of undocumented college students, resources they could use to contact in their respective areas to help themselves and their friends, and the motivation to not only continue, but also do something in support of access to higher education for undocumented students.
