37 Del Mar

37 Del Mar Camp, north of San Diego
Indigenous Mixtec farm workers from the Mexican state of Oaxaca live in makeshift shelters in a camp on a hillside in Del Mar, just north of San Diego. Generoso Vassquez has lived in the camp for over 3 years. He speaks Mixtec, as so most camp residents, and only a little Spanish.
