Migrant program leaders unite communities in camps
Kathryn Leaf, supervisor for New York state, tours farm areas by jeep station wagon to avert factional splits among migrants. This summer she will visit at least two times about 50 camps housing 3000 to 5000 workers. The program supports family gatherings, games, meals, movies, song, and interdenominational church services, with many workers being women and some forming lasting bonds with families.
