  • Migrants wait in line for food in a migrant refuge near the railway line in Apizaco, Mexico. The refuge is run by lay people and supported mainly by church groups. Migrants often arrive in exhausted, dehydrated, hungry and in need of medical attention. This point on the migrant journey from Honduras takes about a month to reach, including about two weeks walking in southern Mexico, then long and dangerous train rides on the rail network known as La Bestia. The refuge allows migrants to stay up to 48 hours.

  • Santos Filadelfo Padilla, 17<br />
<br />
El programa es de apoyar a retornados. Yo llegué hasta la ciudad de México. De allí me deportaron. Yo iba en el autobús, y subieron, no eran policías sino de la migración. Otra gente les contaron a ellos quizás, y subieron. Me bajaron del bus, me llevaron a la garita, y allí me detuvieron. Dormí tres días allí. Y de allí me mandaron a la frontera con Mexico y Guatemala. Me tuvieron allí otros dos días. De allí me regresaron hasta aquí, a San Pedro Sula. Me llevaron al centro de retornados, para menores, hay un montón de camas allí en el Albergue Belén, allí estuve. <br />
<br />
Eso fue hace un año en diciembre. Salí el día 13 de diciembre, ya el 14 iba por Guatemala. Se me quedan los detalles pegados. <br />
<br />
Decidí irme por la pobreza. Uno sufre económicamente. No hay trabajos, no hay empleo. Y tengo bastantes amigos que si llegaron allí, en los estado unidos. Yo iba hacía Carolina del Norte, de mis amistades que están allí, allí están casi todos. Y hay otros en Texas.<br />
<br />
Hay muchas historias de horror. Hay gente que les puede secuestrar o algo. Y hay gente que sufre en el camino porque no tiene que comer. No hay nadie tal vez que les aconseje antes de ir, y van a sufrir en el camino. <br />
<br />
Aquí en Juticalpa tengo familia, soy de afuera, pero tengo familia aquí, y aquí me hablaron de la Federación, que estaban apoyando a migrantes retornados. <br />
<br />
La ayuda consiste en capacitación para mecánica y soldadura. Y con herramientas. Voy a trabajar en mecánica pesada, camiones. Hacen las capacitaciones aquí cerca. <br />
<br />
La vida de mi familia es bastante triste. Perdimos mi papá cuando tenía un año. Nos quitaron terrenos, la casa, quedamos sin nada. Cuando yo tenía siete salí de la escuela y empezé a trabajar, para ayudar a sostener mis hermanos. No teníamos nada.<br />
<br />
Nos han enseñado como hacer el trabajo, cobrar, hacer inventarios. Pienso, con las herramientas que me van a dar, poner mi propio taller aquí en Juticalpa.<br />
