On the Latinx Farmworkers of Southern Idaho page, each of their stories matter. Several American women from Idaho – most of whom live in the Mountain Home area – are responsible for a bilingual storytelling project honouring the lives and stories of Idaho farmworkers. "Especially in the time of Covid, it was important to use these tools to build a community for farmworkers and the Southern Idaho farmworking communities," Karina Guadarrama said. Sometimes, especially when interviewing undocumented female farmworkers, the women hear stories the farmworkers have shared with very few people. During the last week of March – also known as National Farmworkers Awareness Week – they returned to the reason the Latinx Farmworkers of Southern Idaho page exists in the first place.
