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 />

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.

Some crops rotted, some dried out, many crops sprouted on the their stems before they could be harvested, most of the staple crops have been lost in the north, centre and west of Honduras. Nutrients have been washed out of the soil too and a huge wave of fungal diseases like canker and leaf rust are just beginning. As well as food for local consumption and survival, cash crops like coffee and bananas are badly affected as well.

  • Edgardo Barahona in Dos Bocas, Santa Rosa de Aguán, Honduras. Standing crops of maize and beans have been lost across the region because of the floods caused by hurricanes Eta and Iota. Some crops rotted, some dried out, many crops sprouted on the their stems before they could be harvested, most of the staple crops have been lost. Nutrients have been washed out of the soil too and a huge wave of fungal diseases like canker and leaf rust are just beginning. Cash crops like coffee are badly affected as well as food for local consumption.

  • A member of the World Renew technical field staff in Uganda shows an African Armyworm. Armyworm get their name because they can be seen 'marching' from place to place in large numbers, across roads and other areas devoid of vegetation. They feed on all types of grasses and can devastate entire crops of maize in a matter of days.

  • Jesus Waiting to Die. <br />
<br />
Fausto de Jesús Vásquez, Los Patios, La Paz <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 />
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." <br />
<br />
The health service in Honduras has been affected by large-scale embezzlement by senior government officials including the substitution of medical pharmaceuticals with tablets made of flour.<br />
<br />
Jesus died peacefully at home in April.

<br />
"the community was affected firstly by the flooding, most of it was under 1.5m of water, people lost everything, their kitchens, bedding, domestic animals like pigs and chickens. In agricultural prodution people lost rice, maize, bananas, the basic food for people. The flooding also affected the roads, it cut through 7m deep and 20m wide in one place. It will need a big investment to get us back to where we were. But because we can't get in to the fields because of the roads, we don't know how we'll replant"
