Virginia Olcot: Gaggle

Press Photographers Dept: They descend the stairs to a gaggle of waiting press photographers. This is their moment of hope, stirring once again the possibility of putting to rest years of uncertainty and desperation, according to CTV. The goal is to come to look for them, said Virginia Olcot, 42, of Chimaltenango, Guatemala, who last heard from her husband in September 2009 when he arrived at the U.S. border in Sonora. This is our intention: to not get tired, to persevere and get the government to help us. GENERAL ESCOBEDO, Mexico -- Even before the tour bus comes to a stop, the women rise from their seats and wait in the aisle to exit. In their arms rest rolled-up flags of the Central American countries they come from. Large laminated photographs of missing loved ones hang by lanyards from their necks. Maybe someone has seen a missing son or father making his way to the United States in search of work. Maybe someone knows a daughter is OK. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
