  • Pope Francis visited the Philippines. Millions of people waited hours to see him pass by. Pope Francis has prepared an encyclical on the environment and climate change, and the Pope's visit to show solidarity with victims of Typhoon Haiyan, known locally as Yolanda, is thought to be related to his message on climate change and the importance of 2015 for negotiations on climate change.

<br />
I was in four iceboxes in the US, about three days in each. The icebox is a room where they put you with very cold air conditioning, the aim of it is to freeze you, to make you more likely to sign the form so that they can send you straight home. It really is freezing, you are on the floor, there’s no bedding, you don’t have enough clothes, your teeth chatter and you feel like you are going to die.<br />
<br />
I was deported after about 20 days. I met someone here in Juticalpa who told me about the LWF.<br />
<br />
I left my place because of danger. What does danger mean? Ha! Danger here is not an abstract concept. My whole family was threatened by a gang. Threats against your life are part of controlling you, subjecting you. My whole family had to leave. People who don’t take notice of threats like that are simply killed. We’ve lost a lot of friends and neighbours, they disappeared. The gang here use a tourniquet on your neck, that’s their signature.<br />
<br />
When I came back, I moved. I had nothing, lost everything. <br />
<br />
The LWF helped me get back on my feet. I make school uniforms, I make adjustments to clothes, I make suits and rent them for weddings. I have dreams of getting bigger to start making clothes that people here want. I have no plan to go back to the US. <br />
<br />
With skills here, and a helping hand to get on your feet, and plenty of hard work, you can make it here, you can survive.<br />

Jesús Alberto Ramírez, Sinaí Chimichal, Copán<br />
<br />
"Sinai is a holy place. It’s where Moses got the ten commandments. Chimichal is a tree that grows here. That’s why we called this place Sinaí Chimichal. We’ve been here since 1991, when we organised ourselves into a group. <br />
<br />
We organised ourselves because we’d been enslaved by the landowner. We weren’t allowed to plant food to eat, or to put up a fence around our huts, or to wash clothes in the stream. They just made us work for whatever they wanted to pay us, and they’d treat us very badly.<br />
<br />
Organising ourselves was hard on everyone. My brother, Nicolás Ramírez, was shot in the belly and killed. The rest of us were captured, tied up with rope, and taken to prison in Santa Rosa. After 20 days or so I was let out, but I was captured and sent to prison again. Our friend Rufino was also shot and captured and sent to prison without medical treatment.<br />
<br />
While I was in prison the second time negotiations took place, and eventually we were given about 30 acres to plant food and build huts. And here we are.<br />
<br />
We’ve suffered a lot of poverty here. Most of the families here have lost a child. But since we’ve been able to plant food it’s a lot better and not so many children have died."

  • This Q'eqchi man carries a load of firewood he has cut and bundled from Concepción Actelá to Santa Catalina de la Tinta in Alta Verapaz, Guatemala. It's two hours walking very fast. With luck he'll get 20 Quetzales, that's $2.60 or £2.00. Then he'll walk home. He carries this very heavy load with a headband called a 'mecapal'.

  • Ever Elajio Castro is the newly elected President of the Flor de Dalia coop. He lives on his farm in El Castillo, about 25km along a dirt road from La Dalia, Jinotega. His farm is about 6 manzanas of coffee, all organic catimor variety, and it's all sold as Fairtrade. The current coffee prices are around $100 a quintal sack on the market, but the Fairtrade price is $190 a quintal, including $20 that is paid to the coop as the Fairtrade Premium. Ever says that the benefit of Fairtrade isn't only the prices, the security they get from guaranteed prices, but there are big benefits environmentally, in terms of protecting water sources. "The coop doesn't have much capital" says Ever "so it really needs loans. If we don't have money available to pay for the work of production, we can easily end up having to sell to get quick cash, having to sell on the market, at low prices, and leaving the coop without the production it needs. So, loans allow us to keep members' production and it means we can sell at the Fairtrade price, it makes a huge difference getting loans from Root Capital".

  • Ali and Mouna. Ali: "We are here with my father-in-law. We're here because of the shelling, the missiles, ISIS, the government, even foreign planes bombing us. The war in general, that's why we left. It was difficult to get out of Syria, then it took us a month to get here, it was a dangerous journey. We've been here for 20 days. My mother and other relatives are in England, I wish we could join them there, all I want is to work."
