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.
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.
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.
