A Girl Scouts troop offers hope and 'sisters for life' for migrant children
Girl Scouts Troop 6,000 in New York City helps migrant girls establish connections and a platform to start a new life in a new country but also equips them with crucial life skills.
The world is very gray today: It's raining in New York City.
From the outside, the building looks like any other old hotel in midtown Manhattan, but it is one of the largest migrant centers for families with children in the city. About 3,500 people are housed here.
Inside the building, the light is dim and there's the constant murmur of people shuffling in and out. Somewhere in this labyrinth of hallways, there's a room that's in technicolor.
This is the meeting point for a Girl Scouts troop, in partnership with New York City Health and Hospitals.
One by one, the scouts start trickling in. Their ages are kindergarden through 12.
They all are recently-arrived
