  • Mario David Castellanos Murillo,12, "the Caravan Boy". <br />
<br />
Mario's mother has a long-term mental illness, his father works long hours as a security guard and doesn't earn the minimum salary. Mario had been spending his time in the street instead of going to school, juggling for tips or selling chewing gum at traffic lights in San Pedro Sula. When the caravan left in October last year, Mario decided to join it. Mario's case was highlighted in some media who dubbed him The Caravan Boy.<br />
<br />
"It's dangerous in the street, there are lots of kids in the street, some people take drugs, they smoke glue, sometimes kids disappear. So. I went on the caravan, on my own. I went walking sometimes, sometimes I jumped on lorries, trailers, sometimes I got lifts in little cars. At the border I went through running, with everyone else that was running, everyone was running. They caught me in Mexico, they were using the crying gas and a woman grabbed me and pulled me away, she took me to a clinic. Then they took my details, and took me to a children's home and flew me back to Honduras on an aeroplane. That was sort of okay. It was easy to escape from the place they put me. I got over the wall, I was in the mountains running. I hid in a tree for a while. Then I got back here, I'm living with my uncle [guardian]". <br />
<br />
Mario's guardian says that Mario's case highlights the precarious social reality of many people living in families with very low incomes, or with mental health issues. He spoke at length about problems of poverty around the city of San Pedro Sula, the industrial capital of Honduras. If people are lucky, they have a job, but they work long hours and can't make ends meet. People have a right to escape terrible conditions if they can see a better alternative somewhere else, he says. Through CASM, he says, Mario has been able to start going to school.

  • A boy plays in a stream that feeds the Pedro Cubas river in Pedro Cubas quilombo.<br />
<br />
Pedro Cubas is one of many quilombos that is taking part in the Movement of People Affected by Dams (Movimento dos Atingidos por Barragens, MAB) who are in active resistance against new dams in the region. The quilombo sits on the small river also called Pedro Cubas.<br />
<br />
Quilombos are remote hinterland settlements in Brazil set up by escaped slaves of African origin. Though most of them were destroyed by slave owners and the Brazilian state, today there are around 5,000 recognised quilombos in Brazil. Slavery was legal in Brazil for four centuries and some five million slaves were brought to Brazil, most of them from the Angola area. Today the largest population of people of African descent in the world, with the exception of Nigeria, is Brazil.<br />
<br />
When the owner of the Caiacanga farm died in the 18th century, the slaves he owned disappeared and hid in the forest, one of them was Gregorio Marinho who established the Pedro Cubas quilombo with other escaped slaves from farms and the gold mines in the region.<br />
<br />
The Pedro Cubas community has 3,800 hectares and around 60 families and 230 people, most of them under 15.<br />
<br />
The community farms collectively to produce cassava, yam, sweet potato, corn, beans, banana and sugar cane. <br />
<br />
Like many quilombos, it is remote. For centuries, rivers were the main means of transport, so the closer a quilombo community was to a large river, the greater the likelihood of being discovered and destroyed. The 5000 quilombos that survived are mainly in hinterlands and access can be difficult. To reach Pedro Cubas the river to cross on the only way in is using a ferry that is operated without an engine, using only the flow of the river.<br />
<br />
The lands of Pedro Cubas were partially titled in 2003 by the government of the State of São Paulo. But, despite the decree, non-quilombola occupants remain in the area.

  • 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".

<br />
I was in a private university. It was too expensive. I live with my mother, she’s a single mother, we couldn’t afford to carry on with the studies, I couldn’t find a job, there’s a lot of violence here, a lot. So, I decided to go to the US. <br />
<br />
We paid a smuggler, $4,000. <br />
<br />
Saying goodbye to my mum was hard, we’d never been apart before. You know it’s risky, you don’t know if you are going to come back, you are conscious of the risk, of being kidnapped, being raped, being killed. But, there’s nothing here. We don’t all have drinking water, sometimes there’s no water at all. There are people right here who don’t eat three meals a day, who can’t afford to send their kids to school, my neighbour here didn’t send their kids to school last year, couldn’t afford it. If you are lucky to get day work here, as a farm labourer, you might get 100 lempiras a day, maybe 90, depends, and it’s hard work. You can’t do much with 100 Lempiras ($4 USD). <br />
<br />
The truth is that you suffer on the journey, sometimes you walk all night, sometimes there’s not much food, you have to sleep on the floor, and it’s dangerous, you can be kidnapped, killed. They tried to sell one of the young women I was with, to sleep with men, you understand. I lost a lot of weight on the journey, I got really skinny, I didn’t get back to normal until after being in prison.<br />
<br />
I was deported twice, once from Mexico, once from the US. The first time I went I got to Mexico, I was deported back to San Pedro Sula, and then I just went straight back. I got to McAllen, Texas and was caught shortly after I got there. I was imprisoned for eight days and then deported. I didn’t have money to get a lawyer to fight my case, so I came back, I signed the form to be deported. I was in prison with Salvadoreans, Guatemalans, other Hondurans. I was 19. <br />
<br />
Thank God, the LWF has helped me a lot, from the first day I met them. With their help, we�

<br />
The school is underfunded and the roof was recently badly damaged by a severe hail storm, leaving it looking like a huge colander. When it rains the school has to close.<br />

<br />
Jesús Lorenzo Martínez, Ojo de Agua, La Paz.<br />
<br />
"I don’t know how old I am. I have three girls and a boy. I’m on my own, bringing them up on my own is a struggle, a battle. Six, I had, I had six children but two are dead. Two boys died. They were for God, they weren’t for me, they were for God. One went when he was a month old. The other went when he was one year and four months. Sometimes I grieve. I conform, it’s God’s will. But I am afraid when one gets ill. I can’t get ill or no one will look after them.<br />
<br />
One of the girls is working in San Miguel (El Salvador), may God bless her and look after her and protect her. My kids are like me, they are as big as me now, and they will have to struggle like I’ve struggled.<br />
<br />
Sometimes I sleep with a flower, and I feel like the boys are with me and I feel strong."

No sé que edad tengo. Tengo tres niñas y un varón. Estoy sóla, criarlos sóla es una lucha, una batalla. Seis, tuve, tuve seis niños pero dos estan muertos. Se me murieron dos varones. Eran para Dios, no eran para mi, eran para Dios. Uno se fue donde él cuando tenía un mes. El otro se fue cuando tenía un año y cuatro meses. A veces me aflijo. Me conformo, es la voluntad de Dios. Pero tengo miedo cuando uno se enferma. No me puedo enfermar yo, nadie más los cuida.<br />
<br />
Una de las niñas esta trabajando en San Miguel (El Salvador), que Dios la bendiga y la cuide y la proteje. Mis niños se parecen conmigo, ya estan igual de grandes como yo y tendrán que luchar como yo he luchado.<br />
<br />
A veces duermo con una flor, y siento que los niños están conmigo y me siento fuerte.

  • Fanny Ruiz, San Pedro Sula<br />
<br />
Fanny’s son, Jorge Alexander, joined the migrant caravan, against her will, and got to the US border at Tijuana. One night, he was lured into a house with two other Honduran boys, Jorge Alexander and one other were tortured and killed, the third boy escaped. This follows months of hate speech in the media in Mexico and the US, against migrants, and the killings are being treated as hate crimes.<br />
<br />
"My name is Fanny Ruiz. When I was four years old my father killed my mother. My father was sent to prison for a while. Then my brother was killed. My next brother was disappeared, we never saw him again. Then my third brother was killed. Of the six brothers and sisters that we were, just us three girls are alive now. <br />
<br />
Thank God I'm still alive, to carry on looking after my children, but it's not great having to hide in your own country so that nothing happens to you. <br />
<br />
All girls and women in this country are in a dangerous position, many of us are scared to go out in case we get followed and raped and killed.<br />
<br />
I have shrapnel all over me, here in my forehead, in my back, my legs, my breasts. I was shot 13 times, they were trying to kill me. Thank God, I am still here, alive to look after my kids.<br />
<br />
I have worked in lots of things to take care of my children: gardening, farming, building construction, flooring, cooking. I’m good with money, I work hard, I don’t have any vices, but that's not enough."<br />
<br />
Fanny is pictured with two of her children in the cemetery, at the grave they prepared to bury Jorge Alexander while they were waiting for the repatriation of his body.

  • A boy at the school  in Las Flores, Jocotán, Guatemala, a Maya Chortí territory. This part of the country is highly affected by climate change. Rainfall patterns in the last seven years have been unreliable, with too little or too irregular rainfall to get harvest of corn and beans. Many farmers have lost the seeds they plant. As the drought seems unending, the farmers diversify their income searching for employment as day labourers, travelling often for months at a time.
