<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 />

"I’m inscribed in the BEPS programme, the pensions, it’s a sort of savings, we put some money in, the coop does and I do when I sell coffee, and then I can get money out, a collaboration, a pension, when I need it. I will be more secure in my old age.<br />

  • Jairo Restrepo says he’s 110 years old, he laughs loudly, in fact, he has to calculate it, he’s 58. Recently, a mule fell on top of him. He was loading the mule with sacks of coffee from his farm, when the mule slipped on the steep incline of the mountain and got stuck on top of him with its legs in the air. “It could have killed me, but it gave me a hernia. It’s serious, Ave Maria! the pain is terrible.” He’s waiting for an operation to fix it. With the Fairtrade Premium the Andes Coop now makes regular contributions to the BEPS pension system for him, and additionally, when he sells coffee, the coop makes further contributions of 3% of the sales. “It’s better like this, when I sell the coffee, to make my contribution then, because I can’t make monthly contributions, my income is not monthly, it’s just when I get a harvest”. Aging coffee farmers, until now, have had poor health care, and no pension to look forward to. This is hard on the farmers, hard on their families, and it makes farming unattractive for young farmers. Coop administrators talk in worried terms about problems of 'generational takeover’ as young people abandon farming in large numbers. The BEPS system gives farmers better access to health care, such as hernia operations, and will provide a bi-monthly income to retired farmers. Don Jairo reflects: “man, coffee farming is tough. Sometimes I’m completely skint, sometimes we have long spells when we don’t eat three times a day, we don’t eat properly. Sometimes my clothes are torn, and my clothes stay torn, I can’t even afford a second-hand shirt. And, I tell you, I’ve worked like a bull all my life, I’ve had no Sundays, no bank holidays, no holidays. I have to go up the mountain, every day, that’s what I’ve had to do, that’s what I’ve got to do now, hacking a living out of the mountain. And what have I got now?” he laughs “a hernia!”. “What can I tell you, a pension makes a big difference for us, i

  • Juan García Gonzalez working on his corn field  in Las Flores, Jocotán, Guatemala, Mr Garcia is part of the Indigenous Council here. 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.

  • Juan Gonzalez is a member of the Cuna Chorti coffee farming coop. His ripe coffee cherries are ready to be picked on his coffee farm. This year, instead of ripening over three months, all the coffee ripened in one month, and farmers are putting this down to climate change. This has caused  problems as there isn't enough labour to pick the coffee in one month, so some coffee is being lost. Cuna Chorti cooperative is a Fairtrade-certified coffee producer based in Chiquimula, Guatemala.
