Pots with red chiles and ajonjoli, or sesame seeds, sit on a fire pit, part of a lunch shared in silence by Victor Cal and his parents a day before he left for the United States, in the makeshift settlement Nuevo Queja, Guatemala, Thursday, July 8, 2021. The day before he left for the US was a busy one for Cal. He went from relative to relative, collecting money to buy food during the journey north. (AP Photo/Rodrigo Abd)
