Carcelen reads the bible in a small space between the kitchen and her living room [Jonatan Rosas/Al Jazeera]- The sun had already set when a group of 10 Venezuelans trickled into Carmen Carcelen's home in northernlate last month. They joined about 100 others who were already there. Two volunteers immediately invited the new houseguests to put down their tattered suitcases and backpacks, and offered each person a bowl of soup.
The 48-year-old mother-of-eight has been welcoming Venezuelans to her home for the past two years, providing a moment of relief to migrants and refugees on their long, and increasingly-dangerous journey. Since August 2017, she estimated that she has given shelter to over 8,500 Venezuelans travelling south. She is also known for giving people hugs when they need it and rubbing their aching feet.
"Where are they expected to go?" said Carcelen, criticising the new visa restrictions,"they don't have wings, they can't just hover around in the sky."Carcelen did not intend to convert her home into a hostel. The devout Christian said she has always had people in her house and loves to help travellers. In 2017, Carcelen and her husband saw a group of Venezuelans walking on the side of the highway when one man collapsed out of exhaustion.
