  • Through streets and villages there are piles of people's belongings, the vestiges of homes, mattresses, furniture, clothes, toys, the accumulations of lifetimes destroyed, and every home has to start again, from nothing. Tens of thousands of piles like this, the tools and comforts of daily life strewn in empty streets. It's often powerfully poignant to walk through these evacuated ghost towns, stumbling through the debris of people lives.

  • Following hurricanes Eta and Iota, with widespread damage to housing and crops, a caravan of migrants set off from San Pedro Sula heading north to the US.

Some men went around the border post through the bush to get into Guatemala, but even some of those were quickly returned to Honduras. Migrants reported desperate and unattended situations they were fleeing from.

  • Alongside provisional shelters that stretch for miles outside San Pedro Sula, Diana's neighbour put up a Christmas tree and nativity scene on the roadside.<br />
<br />
The Christmas tree is a reminder that the global scientific community and faith-based groups across the world call out together for us all to take urgent action to slow climate change: to stop burning fossil fuels, and to start planting trees, a trillion trees need to be planted to absorb carbon from the atmosphere.<br />
<br />
And the nativity scene is a powerful reminder of Mary and Joseph who found no room at the inn and were forced to shelter and sleep with animals, the least suitable place imaginable for the birth of a baby. No one made room for them. We are all innkeepers today, deciding whether we have room for strangers, and whether we should help people who - like Mary and Joseph - have nowhere to go.

Not far down the road is a military road block. No undocumented migrant was allowed out of Honduras or into Guatemala, and anyone with an arrest warrant on either side of the border was taken into custody. The process at the border was tense and took several hours, some small scuffles took place. Many migrants slept on the street.

<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 />
<br />
LWF's programme for deported and returned migrants is supported by ELCA.

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 />
<br />
LWF's programme for deported and returned migrants is supported by ELCA.

  • Noelia Sagastume came walking from Peña Blanca to San Luis Planes, 2.5 hours walk, after the road to San Luis Planes was ruined by the hurricanes Eta and Iota. "We've all been affected by the hurricanes, not just because of the roads, but all local work is affected, people have lost their farms, there's no coffee picking, and people who rely on farm labouring are suffering".

  • Prudencio Fernández, El Zapote, Santa Bárbara, Honduras. “There are two big landslides, one each side of the road where we are. All the other families have gone from here now, they’ve left. I’m only here to harvest the coffee I can, I’m picking on my own. A lot of the coffee dropped while it was green, there was a lot of rain, amazing amount of rain, so the leaves and coffee dropped. But there’s some left and I’m picking it before I leave. There has been some help here, people have come to give us food, but the government hasn’t even come to take a look.”
