  • Jesus the Indigenous Leader<br />
<br />
Jesús Pérez, Corralito, Copán<br />
<br />
"I live here in Los Altos de Corralito, where I was born, high up in the mountains. I plant corn and beans, and sometimes I earn some money working as a labourer. I have six living daughters, and two living sons. And I have five or six grandchildren. <br />
<br />
Our community has a history of struggle for land and for recognition of our indigenous identity, and my family has paid dearly for it. Blood has been spilt for our indigenous rights.<br />
<br />
My nephew was Candido Amador. He was two days older than me. The Maya Chortí communities were marginalised by the big landowners, but thank God, now we have official recognition as an indigenous people, and we have a little bit of land. We’ve been here for thousands of years, but we only got recognition in the last twenty years.<br />
<br />
My nephew gave his life for our cause. They assassinated him.<br />
<br />
He had long hair, he dressed in indigenous clothes, and had very indigenous features. They thought he was the leader and representative of the indigenous movement, so they targeted him. In fact he wasn’t the representative. The person who represented our organisation was compañera María de Jesús Interiano. She was the first elected President of the Council, while we were preparing for the first Congress. But they thought that Candido was the leader and that’s why they assassinated him. <br />
He was beaten, he was cut with a machete on his hands, his neck, his head, and he was shot three times in the chest. And they scalped him. <br />
<br />
It was the night of the 11th of April 1997. He lived in my house, so they came here to get me to identify the body. He had been thrown on the side of the road. We brought him up here to the Catholic church to say prayers, for a wake. <br />
<br />
He is buried in Rincón del Buey. One of my own sons is buried next to him. He had a fall while he was working in the town, and died of the internal injuries later. We put flowers on both the graves at the same time."

  • Portraits from La Carbonera, Somoto, Nicaragua. This region has been severely affected by lack of rainfall over recent years. The prolonged drought has dried up rivers and wells and has destroyed most crops before they get to harvest. ELCA is supporting the Nicaraguan Lutheran Church, ILFE, with community-based farming responses to this crisis, where small plots are farmed in groups, sometimes with irrigation, in an attempt to provide the basic nutritional requirements for the participating families.

  • Erika Cáceres Díaz, with her daughter Madeline: I work making stickers and signs. A lot of our work comes from the transport sector, buses and taxis mainly. We also do signs for offices, emergency exits and so on, but we get less business from that, it’s mainly transport, public and private. God has given me a talent for this, I thank God for it. And we’ve done trainings, for how to run a business, and I’ve learned other things on YouTube too. When we started, we didn’t know how to use the computer, we hadn’t been able to study much at school, so we had to learn a lot. I’ve done distance study at the university now too, in graphic design. World Renew, through Christian Ministries, has given us economic support too, credit to buy the computer and materials, as well as the trainings. Training on how to run a business and control costs, and know how far down you can go with pricing, that’s been important, it’s a competitive business, and prices are changing, we’re buying products that come into the country, so we’re paying dollars but earning lempiras, you need to understand what you are doing.

  • Aboubacar Sylla, aged 79, lost 4 members of his family in the Ebola outbreak of 2014-15. <br />
<br />
His daughter M’Mah was one of the lucky ones. As soon as she started showing symptoms of the deadly disease, her father made sure that she was taken straight to hospital where early treatment helped save her life. <br />
<br />
Surrounded by multiple generations of his large family at their home in the district of Dixinn Port, Conakry, Sylla tells how the family was shunned by their own community when Ebola struck his family.<br />
<br />
“Before the Ebola outbreak, everyone talked to one another here. Then suddenly we weren’t even allowed to leave our house,” he said.<br />
<br />
People stopped using the well in the open area in front of their home for fear of contamination and the children were forbidden to step out past the boundary of their front courtyard where they were used to playing.<br />
<br />
M’Mah was not living in the family house when she got sick, but her brother Aboubacar was the one who went to her house where she was living with her husband and took her to the Ebola treatment centre in Nongo. <br />
<br />
“Everyone was so scared of Ebola but I couldn’t just abandon my sister. She would have died,” he said, telling how his decision to ride in the ambulance with her caused division within the family.<br />
Since then, even though he never got sick, Aboubacar has suffered stigma from his contact with Ebola and has found it difficult to get work anymore. <br />
<br />
As soon as M’Mah arrived at the Ebola treatment centre, the disease surveillance system alerted the vaccine trial team of this new case. The team sent two local social mobilizers, trained specifically by WHO for this delicate role, to visit the family and to ask if they would agree to participate in a research trial to help develop a vaccine against Ebola. <br />
The Guinea vaccine trial, led by WHO, used a method called ring vaccination. This method, used to eradicate smallpox, aims to vaccinate a “ring” of all the people who had close contact with the pe

  • As people from two villages wait for an emergency humanitarian food distribution during the drought and famine in western Uganda, a group perform a short drama about what happens in a family when there's not enough food. <br />
<br />
When there's not enough food to go around in a family, children fight over small scraps of food, sometimes food is shared equally, sometimes people sacrifice their own food to allow children to eat, sometimes difficult decisions are taken, over who will survive. The dynamics of what happens in a family, extended family and community can be emotionally as well as physically devastating.

We have citrus fruits, we’ve built level curves, barriers, we have natural medicines like lemon grass, we have pitahayas, achiote – which is good for the bees, but it’s also good for cooking, we use it ourselves, and it’s better than what you find in the shops. We have ornamental plants too, flowering plants for the bees. All this is good for us, for the family. We haven’t had a lot of success with the Meliponas, yet, but we will, we’ll keep trying. We have planted a lot of achiote, the bees love it. We have papaya, plenty of yuca, and plenty of quequisque that’s good for the nutrition, it’s the basics, and we have coconut, and peaches, star fruit. As all this goes up, we are creating the best conditions for the family to live well, it’s all new, we planted it all with CIEETS. What we want is to carry on improving, and all this will strengthen us. CIEETS has helped us move forwards”.

  • Carlos Andrés Enriquez Hernández, 23, Tailor, Barrio La Soledad, Juticalpa, Olancho<br />
<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 />
<br />
LWF's programme for deported and returned migrants is supported by ELCA.

We have ornamental plants too, flowering plants for the bees. All this is good for us, for the family. We haven’t had a lot of success with the Meliponas, yet, but we will, we’ll keep trying. We have planted a lot of achiote, the bees love it. We have papaya, plenty of yuca, and plenty of quequisque that’s good for the nutrition, it’s the basics, and we have coconut, and peaches, star fruit. As all this goes up, we are creating the best conditions for the family to live well, it’s all new, we planted it all with CIEETS. What we want is to carry on improving, and all this will strengthen us. CIEETS has helped us move forwards”.

  • Carlos Andrés Enriquez Hernández, 23, Tailor, Barrio La Soledad, Juticalpa, Olancho<br />
<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 />

<br />
Yuliana's father Jairo Restrepo is a coffee farmer with the Fairtrade-certified Andes Coop and he has recently become affiliated to the BEPS pension scheme, with contributions from the Fairtrade Premium. Yuliana says "it's good for the older people to get some security in their old age, otherwise they can never stop working, and they fear becoming dependent on family members, even if their family don't mind. But between harvests sometimes it's hard, we don't always have enough to eat. So, having a small pension is a big help for everyone".

“The family was evacuated at midnight, that was during hurricane Eta. We heard thundering noises coming from underground, from inside the mountain” said Lourdes, “We were all evacuated, it was dark, we all felt sad”. Lourdes’ family is one of 60 families affected by the landslide in the village of El Zapote, San Luis Planes, Santa Bárbara. That night six houses were destroyed by a landslide there and another 55 were made unsafe by subsidence, and have now been declared uninhabitable. The region of Santa Bárbara, with steep mountain slopes that are ideal for coffee growing, is particularly prone to landslides. Fairtrade-certified cooperative Montaña Verde is based in San Luis Planes and coop members are all affected by climate change, hurricanes and landslides. Serious problems with access to farms, loss of land, loss of topsoil, washed-out nutrients, the early fall of unripe cherries, leaf drop, root rot, and a proliferation of fungal diseases all affect the producers, as well as the loss of their corn and bean crops that they rely on as their staple food.

  • Karol Salazar: "I’m from Choluteca but I live in Tegucigalpa. I work building capacity in the community, particularly on family plots, school plots. We want to run more projects, because they do benefit the community, in their nutrition and independence, but also in building self confidence and good social relationships between people. It’s good to see women become producers of food for their own nutrition, and to sell for an income. We also work on small community projects, helping them to get organised to get improvements in their roads or houses. Communities can do a lot if they get organised and together make a plan for whatever they need. That’s what I do here, helping with those areas of work. Christian Ministries have several programmes in education, that’s where I began working, as a social worker and teacher of sixth grade, and I worked on grants and nurseries, and I worked on a programme to guarantee a nutritious meal at school, because lots of the children here are from very low income families."

  • Sekou Minkailou, (centre) chief of Matam district in Conakry, worked closely with the team from WHO to convince his people to participate in the Ebola vaccine trial. In Matam district, 10 people, including a doctor, had already died during the outbreak and people were frightened of this new disease that they had never seen before in their country.<br />
“People were so scared, they refused to follow the advice from the government and health workers. They didn’t even want the Red Cross to be involved. They hid the bodies of people who died from Ebola because there was such horrible stigma attached to the family once it was touched by Ebola.”<br />
<br />
Minkailou and his colleagues in the district office were often the first people to have contact with families when a new Ebola case was announced. “We feel really happy, so relieved that this vaccine protects us,” he said.

  • Three schoolgirls walk along a path near Andes, Antioquia. All three are carrying student backpacks provided by the coop to any member who has a family member studying. The backpacks include stationery items. The provision of the student backpacks has reduced the rate of student dropout in rural areas, as many families are so poor they cannot pay for the school basics themselves. The Fairtrade premium is used to pay for around 3,500 student backpacks each year.

No recuerdo. Ah sí, conocí a mi esposa, trabajando. Ella traía la comida cuando trabajabamos en el campo, la mire y me enamoré de ella. Tuvimos dos hijos. <br />
<br />
Nací en Nahuaterique. Nahuaterique fue El Salvador, ahora es Honduras. Tenemos doble nacionalidad. (Nahuaterique fue parte de una disputa fronteriza entre El Salvador y Honduras, pasando a Honduras con una decisión de la Corte International en La Haya en 1992)<br />
<br />
Estoy muriendo. Estoy rodeado de mi familia, mis hijos viven cerca. Aqui la naturaleza es abundante, da bien para maize y frijol, café, yuca. Trabajé con hortalizas también, tomates, pepinos, para vender.<br />
<br />
Miramos de todo, en ese tiempo, en la guerra. Perdimos todo, pero son cosas materiales, todo eso se repone, la vida es que no se repone, los muertos no hacen nada. Reconstruimos todo después de la Guerra.<br />
<br />

<br />
I don’t remember. Ah, yes, I met my wife, working. She would bring the food to us when we worked in the fields, I saw her, and I fell in love with her. We had two children.<br />
<br />
I was born in Nahuaterique. Nahuaterique was in El Salvador, now it is in Honduras. We have double nationality. (Nahuaterique was part of an international border dispute between El Salvador and Honduras that was resolved by the International Court at the Hague in 1992, passing to Honduran administration)<br />
<br />
I’m dying. I am surrounded by my family. My children live nearby. Here nature is abundant, it’s good for maize and beans, coffee, yuca. I worked with vegetables too, tomatos, cucumbers, to sell.<br />
<br />
We saw a bit of everything in that time, in the war. We lost everything, the house, all our things, but they are material things, you can get all that again, life is what you can’t get back if you lose it, the dead can’t do anything. We rebuilt everything after the war.

  • 'Bertita' Cáceres, daughter of assassinated environmentalist leader Berta Cáceres of the indigenous Lenca organisation COPINH in La Esperanza, Intibucá, Honduras. Speaking shortly before the first anniversary of the assassination of her mother, Bertita spoke about the persistent threats against her mother and family, and the pain of losing their mother. She says that the assassination is a political crime, covered up by the state, and is part of a policy that has seen 123 defenders of land and environment assassinated in Honduras since the coup. Bertita is currently one of the leaders of COPINH, that is campaigning against the construction of a dam on sacred Lenca land.

  • Sheyla Mungia Carrazco, journalist<br />
<br />
"Since December I started getting insults from the soldiers when they saw me reporting from demonstrations, and one of the military chiefs was saying things like ‘Sheyla, there’s lots of other jobs you could do, resign from this job, get another’. <br />
<br />
One day we saw the cameraman from another TV station being beaten by the soldiers, and they broke his camera. I told my cameraman to film it, the soldiers said that if we filmed it the same would happen to us. <br />
<br />
I went to report on the arrest of a protestor, one of many arrests I've tried to report on, I’ve been prevented from doing these interviews by the Army before. I didn’t have my cameraman with me, so I was filming it myself, and a soldier hit me with a baton and I dropped my microphone, when I bent to pick it up all the soldiers surrounded me and started groping and hitting me, there were about 30 soldiers, they all had balaclavas on. I’ve made official complaints about this, but the soldiers can’t be identified.<br />
<br />
My family tell me to leave this job, they’re afraid.<br />
<br />
The TV channel I work for, Prensa Libre, is now under a legal threat of losing ownership, it will probably go to an owner that favours the government. We’re the last channel giving opposition views in the region."
