  • Palm Sunday in Guatemala City. The procession of Jesus Nazareno de los Milagros celebrates the arrival of Jesus in Jerusalem, when he rode on a donkey and people placed palms on the ground before him. These processions date back to the 1780s. Bearers, known as cucuruchos, carry extremely heavy floats as a painful act of penitence, they arrive fasting and in prayer. The cortege is led by clouds of pine incense. There are moments of silence and from time to time the bands that follow the cortege play solemn music. The atmosphere is charged. 112 men carry Jesus Nazareno de los Milagros, and the cortege is followed by Mary, carried by 56 women. The procession starts at 7am and goes on til midnight, with about 120 different groups taking a turn at carrying the floats.

  • Wagner works with a community organisation in the favela where he lives in Sapopemba, São Paulo.<br />
<br />
São Paulo is the largest city in the Western Hemisphere. in 2015 after very low rainfall in the rainy season, the level of water in the reservoirs supplying São Paulo dropped dramatically and the city announced a severe water shortage. A strict water rationing system was imposed.<br />
<br />
Many wealthy people responded by drilling their own wells, or by leaving the city, but many poorer people built  or installed water tanks, which they hadn't needed until then, to store water that came when the mains supply was turned on for short periods often in the middle of the night. <br />
<br />
Megacities across the world have high levels of vulnerability, which is increasing as climate change and deforestation bring severe and prolonged droughts. Other examples of dramatic water shortages and drying reservoirs can be found across the US.<br />

  • Early morning view over the  gang-controlled area of Chamelecón of San Pedro Sula, a hell hole where even the Police and Army are afraid to enter, where many have lost their homes, been abused, taxed, robbed and have perished, all  at the hands of gangs. This was the last sight of the city for another migrant caravan departing from the city. Migrants walked and hitchhiked on their way to the border points. Most went to Aguas Calientes in Ocotepeque, some went to El Florido in Copán. It was reported that nearly 1,700 Hondurans were registered at the border crossings in Guatemala, more than 300 of them were returned from the Honduras side because of deficiencies in the legality of their paperwork.

  • Rubén Dario Martinez, 28, Santa Cruz, Catacamas, Olancho<br />
<br />
I learnt to be a barber from nothing, I didn’t know anything about it, learnt it all from the LWF training, building up a clientele. It’s better than working as a security guard, like before. I’d earn less than half of the national minimum wage, and the work was all night, it was dangerous. I worked in a hotel, where all sorts of people go, if you know what I mean, this is a dangerous city. One time a client was drunk and wanted me to drink with him, I said no and he but the barrel of his gun in my face and forced me to drink.<br />
<br />
I decided for reasons of security to try to get to the US. Also out of sheer poverty. When you’re on the bottom rung, it’s hard.<br />
<br />
I went on my own, no smuggler, didn’t have the money to pay one. It was hard. Sometimes I didn’t eat. Sometimes I met people with children, sometimes I’d help them carry their kids, it’s hard to leave people behind struggling, it’s hard. Sometimes people tried to rob us. Sometimes people would insult me.<br />
I got to Mexico City. That’s where I was caught. I spent two weeks in prison in Mexico, it was full of Hondurans, Guatemalans, Salvadoreans. <br />

No one likes to leave their family on their own. <br />

  • At El Playón, on the edge of Carepa city, the river is changing course and moving closer to the housing every day. Political decisions to sell the river to a commercial sand mining operation have resulted in massive river erosion that is affecting the security of Carepa city dwellers. Every night of rainfall more erosion of the river bank happens and more trees are washed away.

  • Men dig sand by hand on the Carepa River, Urabá. Horse-drawn carts and lorries are loaded with river sand and sold for local building work. These small artisanal operations are incomparable to the industrial removal of sand up-river where 200 lorry-loads are removed daily to be used on large infrastructure projects like highways. The large-scale mining of sand changes the speed and course of the river, creating environmental problems and danger for people who live near the river as it changes course. Near Carepa city, the river has changed course by 100m in recent years, taking houses with it. Currently it is just a few metres from housing and moving closer daily.

<br />
I liked working from an early age. From when I was eight I worked in whatever I could. I used to pass beans to Guatemala, at midnight with a mule, and the next day I’d bring back sugar, because there was no sugar in Honduras, only in Guatemala. Now you can get everything. At that time there weren’t many roads, everything had to be brought on a mule, now everything is modernised and nothing is taken on mules.<br />
<br />
Now I send packages with a barcode. They have the GPS system. The system tells you where the package is. Everything is modernised.<br />
<br />
From the age of 15 I worked cutting yucca plants, in Guatemala. We’d cut chunks of the stem and then in the factory in Guatemala City they’d put on a hormone and colour, and that made is sprout colourful flowers. They’d cover the bits of stem in cement and export them. I worked for three years in that, and then I came back here to work in the post office.<br />
<br />
I worked in Honducor (the post office), Bancrecer (a bank), in the municipality, then in the Customs office at the El Florido border post. While I was there Ricardo Maduro won the Presidency and I had to leave, and I put my papers in to work at the post office again, I’ve now worked here for 22 years.<br />
<br />
My life has been about work, I am happy, and yes, I feel proud.<br />

A mi me gustaba trabajar desde muy niño. A partir de los ocho años trabajaba en lo que pude. Pasaba frijoles para Guatemala, a medianoche en mula, y el día siguiente a traía azucar, porque no había azucar en Honduras, sólo en Guatemala. Ahora hay de todo aquí. En ese entonces no habían muchas carreterras, había que traer todo en mula, ahora esta todo modernizado y nadie va con mula. <br />

Ahora mando paquetes con código de barra. Van con un sistema de GPS. El sistema te dice por donde va. Todo esta modernizado.<br />

  • The human rights ombudsman talked to a crowd of protesters outside the Villa Olimpica centre in San Salvador the night before the elections. the centre was being used by around 50 buses with Guatemalan number plates, and the crowd was convinced that the foreigners had been brought into the city by the right-wing ARENA party to vote illegally. Gun shots were heard at the back of the centre and hundreds of people escaped from Villa Olimpica over the back fence.

<br />
I liked working from an early age. From when I was eight I worked in whatever I could. I used to pass beans to Guatemala, at midnight with a mule, and the next day I’d bring back sugar, because there was no sugar in Honduras, only in Guatemala. Now you can get everything. At that time there weren’t many roads, everything had to be brought on a mule, now everything is modernised and nothing is taken on mules.<br />
<br />
Now I send packages with a barcode. They have the GPS system. The system tells you where the package is. Everything is modernised.<br />
<br />
From the age of 15 I worked cutting yucca plants, in Guatemala. We’d cut chunks of the stem and then in the factory in Guatemala City they’d put on a hormone and colour, and that made is sprout colourful flowers. They’d cover the bits of stem in cement and export them. I worked for three years in that, and then I came back here to work in the post office.<br />
<br />
I worked in Honducor (the post office), Bancrecer (a bank), in the municipality, then in the Customs office at the El Florido border post. While I was there Ricardo Maduro won the Presidency and I had to leave, and I put my papers in to work at the post office again, I’ve now worked here for 22 years.<br />
<br />
My life has been about work, I am happy, and yes, I feel proud.<br />

  • Maria Jesús Medina Pineda, Ciudad Nueva, Marcala<br />
<br />
My mother died when I was five years old, we were ten brothers and sisters. We grew up, how could I tell you, it was a horrible thing. My father had already left the country because of political problems. Damned political parties. They wanted to kill him. We suffered a lot of hunger. The family disintegrated, some left, some died. I stayed with my older sister, she’s still alive, she’ll be 100 years old in September.<br />
<br />
I haven’t always lived here, I used to live near the Catholic church in Marcala. But because we toast coffee, the smoke polluted the air in the city, so we moved out here. I’m 80 and I work every day. That’s the secret to eternal youth, work hard and be honest, I have no ailments, I’m healthy. I had three children, one is in the United States. The boy manages the coffee factory. We prepare, toast and sell coffee in bags. We have been toasting coffee for 40 years, I was the first to do it. I began playing around with it, with plastic bags, I used to send the children out to the street to sell them, or to the neighbours, at three Colons a pound, at that time we used the Colon (Salvadorean currency), as we are near to the Salvadorean border. It’s an honest business, a healthy business. The father of my children died. I didn’t get married, I just had my children, with a military man, he was already married. I have a grandson who is a pilot and another who is a civil engineer and he’s in the United States, you can’t get work here, only if you are involved in politics you can get a job here.<br />
<br />
I fell madly in love with the military man, I was about 22 years old, I had my kids with him.<br />
<br />
With the business, I began in shocking poverty. We didn’t know what to do then. I worked as a secretary in the Junta Nacional. And I worked in the high command of the Army, from four until nine at night. I earned 225 Lempiras in the Junta, and 150 in the high command. I’d put aside 30 Lempiras for the c

  • 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.

  • Within San Pedro Sula, statistically the most violent city in the world, ChamelecÛn is one of the most dangerous areas. Here the police and army patrol the area in an attempt to restore peace to the area. Gangs control ChamelecÛn and force people to leave their homes if they can't pay the protection racket levy. Large areas of the neighbourhood have been abandoned, and the gangs then either use the houses themselves, sometimes transferring ownership to them, or sell everything in it, including the roofing material. The alarming insecurity in the country is a major contributing factor to migration to the US.

  • Men dig sand by hand on the Carepa River, Urabá. Horse-drawn carts and lorries are loaded with river sand and sold for local building work. These small artisanal operations are incomparable to the industrial removal of sand up-river where 200 lorry-loads are removed daily to be used on large infrastructure projects like highways. The large-scale mining of sand changes the speed and course of the river, creating environmental problems and danger for people who live near the river as it changes course. Near Carepa city, the river has changed course by 100m in recent years, taking houses with it. Currently it is just a few metres from housing and moving closer daily.
