  • Jesús Alberto Monroy Díaz, postmaster, Copán Ruinas.<br />
<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 />

De los 15 años de edad me dedicaba a cortar izote, allí en Guatemala. Cortabamos el palo, y allí en la fábrica en la

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 />

<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

"I used to work in textile factories, I was a machine operator, sewing on sleeves. Because my son got ill, I looked for help from a money lender. He lent me the money. Then he'd take all my salary, all of it. He charges 20% a week. I was earning 1,900 Lempiras, sometimes there'd be 80 Lempiras left over after paying the interest. I decided to resign from the job, because it wasn't enough to pay the interest and survive. They gave me 2,000 Lempiras, after working for years there, and I used it to start a small business making tortillas. But I'm a single mother, and the income wasn't enough to survive. When I heard about the caravan, I ran to join it. It was difficult, I was pregnant.<br />
<br />
We went up to Ocotepeque and from there through Guatemala and into Mexico. In Tuxtla we were in a little group, separated from the main group. We were walking for hours and then two trucks with men with balaclavas cut across us, they were armed. It was a place in the mountains, no houses. They wanted us to get onto the trucks. Someone said they were Zetas. Some people died, I ran with my children. I lost my kids for three days, I told them to run to Tecún Umán (the border). They opened fire on us while we ran, some people were killed. I won't get over it. I was raped and later I had a miscarriage, I was carrying twins. My kids got away. We were all covered in cuts and scratches, the thorns in our legs, we ran through the bushes and around the edges of fields. Three days later, I was desperate, I was searching for my kids, then in Tapachula I found my children, they were okay. I didn't know if they were alive. You don't know, I can't say what it was like, seeing them again. <br />
<br />
I turned myself in to the migration officials, I didn't want to carry on, they took us to the border. But, here I am again, alive, returning to live this poverty.<br />

CASM [a Mennonite organisation] has helped me, they've helped me a lot.<br />
