For years, my career in the field of Latin American medical relief brought me face to face with the financial hardship many on the continent confront daily to survive. I visited countless rural towns from Peru to Mexico where economic prosperity had not arrived and had no plans to. There, I met local men with no jobs, whose families had no income and whose children had no better future. What I failed to examine in this experience were those who fled their hometowns in Latin America for abroad in search of a better future for themselves and their families — that is, until I began exploring the lives of Mexican migrant workers living in my own hometown of San Francisco during the dot-com boom. The images that follow shed some light on the lives, dreams and struggles of one community of migrant workers from the serene fishing village of Puerto Angel, Mexico financing their dreams from the concrete curbside of Cesar Chavez Street in San Francisco. _ Reporting from San Francisco (USA)
