The campaign of the National Alliance of domestic workers (NDWA), called "We Belong Together", seeks to convey to President Obama the message of children directly affected by the policy of deportations.

The campaign, which began on 15 November and will end on December 8 with a rally in Washington in which several children delivered letters in Congress and the White House, has collected up to now 4,820 letters.

"At a time of festivities when we share wishes is important for children" u000a"to express what they think and part of these wishes is that children should belong to their parents and their families and that these families belong to our communities", said activist.

One of the missives, a minor identified as Ana Gisel, calls to the Obama President if he could give a gift "the gift that I would I would would a law of no more deportations".

"The voices of children on the subject are quite impressive and we hope that they are heard in the White House, said between local organizations that are participating in the campaign is the Alliance Latin of Georgia Pro human rights (GLAHR), which so far has collected 540 letters in Georgia.

"In a week and a half that we have been with the campaign, we have seen a very nice participation of children, many of them born in United States, requesting that they not deport their families", he told Efe u000aAdelina Nicholls, Executive Director of GLAHR.
