Pope Francis has asked the Church of Latin America to work on eradicating the indifference that exists towards migrants who cross the Darien jungle looking for a better life. His message was sent to the meeting of border Bishops of Colombia, Costa Rica and Panama. Pope Francis is advocating for migrants crossing the Darien jungle and asks everyone who can, to give them help. “I urge you, therefore, to join forces with all levels of the international community, so that everyone has the right to remain in their land and maintain a dignified and peaceful life,” he added.
