  • Santos del Socorro Rojas holds a photo of her son Jorge Alberto Reyes Dávila as she walks with a group of Central Americans during a demonstration in the center of Tapachula, Mexico, on December 16, 2013. The group, mostly mothers looking for their children, spent 17 days touring 14 Mexican states in search of their loved ones, most of whom had disappeared while following the migrant trail north. They also demanded that Mexican government officials improve their treatment of migrants transiting the country.<br />
<br />
Rojas, from Chinandega, Nicaragua, was reunited with her son later that same day after people at a church-run migrant shelter recognized the photo. They had been separated for nine years.

  • Maria de Jesus Silva Velasquez holds photos of two disappeared family members as she speaks at a December 16, 2013 demonstration for migrants' rights in the southern Mexico city of Tapachula. A Nicaraguan, Silva was part of a caravan of 45 people from Central America who spent 17 days touring 14 Mexican states in search of their loved ones, most of whom had disappeared while following the migrant trail north. At her side is Iris Yaconda, a psychologist with Jesuit Refugee Service who provided emotional support to members of the caravan.<br />
<br />
Silva holds photos of her daughter Jacqueline Silva Giron, who was kidnapped by traffickers in 2004 at the age of 11. Silva has identified the woman responsible for the abduction, but has been unable to locate her daughter for nine years. The second photo she holds is of her nephew Humberto Mayorga Silva, who left in 2007 when he went to search for Silva's daughter. He last called in 2011 but hasn't been heard from since.

  • Sebastian Yat shows a worm that has devasted the corn crop growing on the Mexican bank of the Salinas River near Santa Elena, in Guatemala's Peten region. The river forms the border between Guatemala and Mexico here, and Guatemalan farmers often cultivate on the Mexican side, slashing and burning the jungle to clear land for cultivation. Yet flooding and pests such as worm infestations have plagued the harvests.

Por medio de la Federación, gracias a Dios, estamos bien ya.<br />
Yo fui a los estados unidos porque yo tengo familiares allá, en Miami en Florida. <br />
<br />
Tenía mi mamá allá y quería verla, es bien difícil, yo le dije a ella que me quería ir y si me podía ayudar. Así fue cuando me fui la primera vez. Me fui con coyote, fue rápido. Yo lo tomé como una aventura, porque no sufrí en el camino. Sufrí solamente cuando iba cruzando el desierto, porque no hay casas, y son tres días de camino, tres días y tres noches caminando. Se ven muchas cosas allí. Malos olores. Gracias a Dios no me tropezé con ningún cadáver. Pero es bien difícil. Hay gente que sí muere en el intento. Es peligroso.<br />
<br />
Luego me deportaron en 2016. Y me fui sin coyote, por cuenta propia. Sin guía uno tiene que ir preguntando para localizarse, para poder llegar.<br />
<br />
Llegué hasta arriba de Tenosique, en México. Ibamos en un bus, de bus en bus y pagando pasajes. Pidieron papeles, nos bajaron, nos chequearon, entonces nos deportaron. Tuvimos que esperar que se llenara todo el bus para que pudiéramos venir, teníamos que esperar, detenidos. Estuve esperando unos diez días. Se llenó el bus y nos mandaron para Chiapas. Y de Chiapas nos fue a recoger un bus de Honduras. Llegamos a San Pedro. Nos bajaron, nos chequearon a ver si teníamos un record criminal, y me dieron boleto para venir a Olancho. <br />
<br />
Gasté como 11,000 lempiras hasta donde llegué, y no llegué muy lejos. Se gasta bastante en el viaje. Vine sin dinero.<br />
<br />
Tomé la decisión de irme porque no tenía empleo, no tenía apoyo, me tocaba hacer algo. Ya tengo 26 años y me da vergüenza estar pidiendo de mi madre en los estados unidos. Entonces decidí gastar mi dinerito en el viaje a ver si llegaba. <br />
<br />
Mi hermano iba en un bus con alguien que conocía el programa de la Federación para deportados, y cuando vino me contó. <br />
<br />
Nos han dado varias capacitaciones. Estoy haciendo cocina.

  • A parish group in Pijijiapan, Chiapas, had a whip round for the ingredients and spent all night preparing 2,000 tamales for the migrants. All the parishes worked together, Catholic, Baptist, Protestant, along with the municipality, to make sure that all the migrants, several thousand of them, had a meal and a safe place to sleep.
