Benjamin is from La Libertad, El Salvador. He has worked in many jobs, all of them with low pay. His last job was looking after swimming pools and he carries documents to prove it, for potential customers. Here he is waiting to board the train known as La Bestia in Apizaco, Mexico, on his way to the US. Including elderly and young children, there are 14 people in his family, he hopes to provide for them better than he can do in El Salvador. He's never missed a day of work.
