<br />
I have migrated to the US seven times. The last time was a very bad experience.<br />
<br />
At the beginning it was fun, going through Mexico. But, as soon as I got across the river into the US, it was bad. It is dangerous, you can lose everything including your life.<br />
<br />
My feet were tired, I’d been walking three days and nights, I had injuries on my feet, my socks were stuck to my feet, I couldn’t bear it any more. That night, we were walking through forest, there were thorns, the thorns would get stuck in my skin, scratch and injure me. We could see lights way off in the distance. It was evening time, I saw a woman who’d given birth, both the woman and the baby were dead. I got scared, the guide got hold of me and covered my mouth to stop me screaming. The smuggler wasn’t bad, he left me on a road where I’d get picked up by the migration. <br />
<br />
Migration passed by a few times before picking me up. Eventually they woke me up, I could hardly stand up, they treated my wounds. I asked for political asylum, and I was left in prison for seven months before being deported. My family thought I was dead, there aren’t any international calls. When I got back here, I got off the bus, and my father saw me and he fell down on the ground and couldn’t stop crying. <br />
<br />
The LWF has helped me set up my own salon, they’ve helped me a lot, to buy my equipment, they’ve given me training. Now I have a job, I have no need to leave again.<br />

  • Yelin Javier Matute Ramos, 22. (with Ruth Abigael, his girlfriend)<br />
<br />
My father went with a smuggler to the US, but they had a fight.  My cousin was with them, he told us the story afterwards. They were in a cabin, but they left my dad outside. The smuggler tried to kill him by beating him, but he wouldn’t die, so he found a machete, cut his hand off, and killed him. Then he tied him to the back of a car and dragged his body around on the dirt road and dumped his body on the railway, so that they’d think he was killed by the train. His wife had to identify him, he was unrecognisable. They sent his body back. <br />
<br />
Despite that, I decided to try my own luck and migrate.<br />
<br />
My mother is in the US, I haven’t seen her for 12 years. <br />
<br />
I decided to go last year. <br />
<br />
A cartel stopped the lorry we were travelling in, they got us all out of the trailer. They told us all to get out all our money, or that they’d kill us. They put all the women separately.<br />
<br />
They killed the driver of the lorry, and his assistant. They asked the lorry driver how many people he was carrying, he said 40, they told him to count us, there were 125 of us. They cut four fingers off his hand, one by one, and then they put a knife into his throat. I didn’t want to see it, but they did it in front of us. Then they did the same to his assistant, they cut off four fingers and pushed a knife into his throat. <br />
<br />
They left us there on the side of the road. We were picked up by Mexican migration and seven days later we were back in Honduras. Everyone I went with went straight back, but I decided to stay. They’ve all got through to the US.<br />
<br />
We got a bus fare to get back to Olancho, we got back with nothing.<br />
Someone told me about the LWF programme and I decided to learn welding, I have those skills now, for life, no one can take that from me. And I’m working in buildings, making furniture, and I have my own equipment.<br />

  • José Graviel, 22, Jutiquiles<br />
<br />
Some men wanted to rape my sister, so my mother went to the police to report them, then the men killed my mother. I was six. I don’t know my father, he’s been in prison for 17 years. I’ve been looking after my younger siblings since my mother died. I get afraid time to time, there’s still a lot of violence.  But the main reason I left was the economic situation here. Poverty. <br />
<br />
I went on my own, no smuggler, I couldn’t afford to pay one. I was stopped by Mexican Migration, in Palenque, I was detained for three days and was sent back on a bus.<br />
<br />
The LWF trained me as a barber, and bit by bit I’m building up clients, everyone round here comes for a haircut.<br />
<br />
I have a girlfriend, but we can’t get married until we’ve prepared well, we want a place to live, we’re saving up. <br />

  • In a police station of San Pedro Sula, a keybox hangs on the wall with signs for various departments including homicide, femicide and gangs. The extraordinary violence in the city is a major engine for migration.
    Honduras_hawkey_migrants_20140803_98...jpg
  • 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.

  • Sobeida.<br />
<br />
Sobeida is given a hug by her granddaughter, the daughter of her son Ronal. Sobeida lives in a notorious neighbourhood of Catacamas, Olancho. Her son Ronald decided to migrate to escape the violence. Men were trying to kill him. His family got him out of Catacamas by using decoys to distract the men that were waiting for him at both ends of his street.<br />
<br />
During his journey up to the US, he lived numerous adventures, and was well liked for helping others on the journey up to the US, including saving others’ lives. One time, helping someone else escape from a criminal group he broke his ankle.<br />
<br />
After months of detention in the US, when he was deported, he came back to Olancho and became the coordinator of the LWF program of young returned migrants in Olancho. <br />
<br />
Shortly afterwards, Ronal Leonardo Rojas Castro was shot dead in Olancho by unknown assailants.<br />

  • Cindy Cruz Flores, 24. Tenpiscapa, Olancho.<br />
<br />
I was deported.<br />
<br />
I went because I couldn’t find any work, there’s nothing here. I’m single, I live at home, I have no children, but I have to help my parents. Even with a profession here, there’s no employment. Lots of people from round here decide to migrate, to find a better future. <br />
<br />
Maybe it’s not as bad here as in some other areas, not many people are hungry, no one dies of hunger here. But, there’s scarcity, there are families who don’t get to eat three times a day. In Honduras the violence is terrible, generally. Catacamas is tough, it’s dangerous. Our particular neighbourhood isn’t too bad though.<br />
<br />
My brother is in the US, he sent money for me to try to get there. He paid $3500, that’s gone.<br />
<br />
I got to Houston, through Juarez, by the bridge. I was there for three months, detained. It was difficult there. I was punished, they sent me from place to place, the food was terrible, you don’t even see sunlight, you don’t know what time of the day it is. The ice boxes are the worst, you freeze. I couldn’t bear it. I signed the papers to be deported. There are lots of stories of people who take their own lives. It’s a bad feeling, terrible feeling there. <br />
<br />
Among the staff in the detention centres, there are bad people, they enjoy making you suffer.<br />
<br />
I was lucky on the journey, it wasn’t much suffering, but in detention it was bad. Some of the women I was with suffered a lot more on the journey, some had broken arms and legs, one had her face all disfigured, another was all cut and grazed, accidents on the train or getting over the wall, or traffic accidents. <br />
<br />
Women travelling have extra risks. A lot of women are raped, or killed. <br />
<br />
I did a course with the LWF, three months training, cutting hair and beauty salon work. I’ve learned to be less shy. I’m working in a salon now, cutting hair. I like doing that. I think in the future, God willing, and with the support of the LWF, I’ll set up m

  • Migrants wait in line for food in a migrant refuge near the railway line in Apizaco, Mexico. The refuge is run by lay people and supported mainly by church groups. Migrants often arrive in exhausted, dehydrated, hungry and in need of medical attention. This point on the migrant journey from Honduras takes about a month to reach, including about two weeks walking in southern Mexico, then long and dangerous train rides on the rail network known as La Bestia. The refuge allows migrants to stay up to 48 hours.

  • Rolando Herrera <br />
<br />
My father was a police officer. He died in 2010, he was killed.<br />
<br />
In that time Olancho was in a difficult situation. Drug trafficking had grown a lot, the authorities didn’t do anything, there was no other authority. We would walk through Juticalpa and see the traffickers controlling everything in the street. One time I saw a crowd of people and could hear people shouting, as I approached I could see that they were burning some people alive in the street, they poured petrol on them and set them on fire, in front of all the people. I don’t know what it was about. That sort of thing would happen.<br />
<br />
Girls and women couldn’t go out, they didn’t dare to go out, so they had to close some schools, no one wanted to go to school. If a trafficker wanted a girl, he’d just take her on the street, drive her away, she might never be seen again. <br />
<br />
To get to work, I bought a motorbike on credit, and one day the traffickers stopped me on the street, at gunpoint, and took the bike. I never saw it again, but had to carry on paying the quotas for the loan, even though I didn’t have the bike.<br />
<br />
Most of the houses in my neighbourhood had two or three kids, we used to play on the street. Within a few years, no one played outside, and all the kids, absolutely all of the kids, became migrants and went to the US. A few of them were killed, some in front of their house, before they could leave. It became a ghost town, many houses are abandoned, some in serious disrepair, some houses had their roofs and doors removed.  To go into the area you have to drive slowly with the windows down, and report to the trafficker guards, telling them who you were going to visit. If you drive fast or with the windows up, you’ll be shot.<br />
<br />
So, I went to the US. I was there for a while. I made two trips, the first one failed, it went bad. I went with a people smuggler. We had a guide, and we met a group of the Zetas, they killed the guide in front of us, they cut his throat and decapi

I’m a single mother with three children. I travelled, it’s a difficult journey, and you go with your heart in pieces, leaving your children behind, you don’t know if you are coming back, you go with your whole body but a lot of people come back missing an arm or a leg, there are several round here like that. And plenty of people die. But there’s no work here, there’s hunger, you can’t afford to send the kids to school. I’ve had one of my children sick, you can’t afford the medicine.<br />
<br />
Thank God, I’m back, in one piece, and thank God, the LWF has helped us get ahead. Now I have the sales, I can afford the rent on a small place, and send the kids to school, and pay for medicine.<br />
<br />
I left just out of poverty. We didn’t eat three meals a day, I didn’t have a place to live, I was sharing with my mother. <br />
<br />
I got up to Tuxtla Gutierrez, Mexico. I was travelling a month. I was deported back to Aguas Calientes, the border with Honduras and Guatemala. I went alone, without a smuggler, without more than 500 Lempiras. <br />

I went on my own too, no leaving my mother and kids behind, it’s painful to leave. <br />
<br />
Today, thanks to the LWF really, we’re making tortillas every day, morning and evening. And Saturdays we do chicken, roast chicken, we take it into town to sell, 50 Lempiras a portion, we do 30 portions. I make about 2,000 Lempiras a month with the tortillas. If you are humble, and I ask God for humility, and with hard work, you can survive.<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 />

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 />

Some children find parents or family waiting for them on arrival, others wait for a few days for family to arrive from remote rural areas, others remain in the refuge indefinitely if no family can be found. In this centre ACT Alliance provides migrant children and their families with psychological support services, food to take home as many of them live in extreme poverty in rural areas of the country, bus fares to get home are provided where this is a problem, and the centre has been provided with equipment and furnishings.

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.

<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 />

  • Many of the refugees arriving in The Jungle are traumatised by the experience of war in their own countries, and many have also suffered violence along their way to get to a safe place. Few are willing to have a photograph taken, for fear of being tracked or it affecting an asylum application. This woman from Syria told me "I have been here for more than three months, my husband was a painter and decorator, he was killed, there is a lot of bombing. I am from Daraa, it's a disaster, we left to save our lives, I brought my children to safety, away from Assad and away from the Free Syria Army. My children are three and five years old. We don't know what to do now, we have relatives in the UK, we hope to be with them. We have no rights, do we?"

I saw on the news that there is fierce fighting in my area today, we don't know when it will stop. If ISIS catch me they will immediately behead me, first of all because I am Yazidi, and because I am Kurdish. My brothers and sister have left Syria already, only my mother is left there, my father is dead. We have to delete our memories, and the dead cannot come back to life, but we still have hope of a new beginning, a different future, the end of the war in Syria. That's all we want for the new year.

The war in general, that's why we left. It was difficult to get out of Syria, then it took us a month to get here, it was a dangerous journey. We've been here for 20 days.
