  • Yarely Arellano (right) and her mother, Patricia Esquivel, board a bus early in the morning in the Mexican city of Juarez. Esquivel accompanies her daughter to the U.S. border, where Arellano crosses into El Paso, Texas, to study at the Lydia Paterson Institute, a United Methodist sponsored high school. Arellano, 20, makes the journey every school day, and most days her mother accompanies her to the border for safety. Arellano was born in the United States, and is thus a U.S. citizen, but her mother, a Mexican national, was later deported and is not allowed to reenter the U.S.

  • Haken Saadala watches as a child runs to board a bus he drives for displaced school children in Seje, Iraq. The community was flooded with displaced families when the Islamic State group took over nearby portions of the Nineveh Plains in 2014. Because the displaced children came from communities with Arabic curriculum schools, they don't fit well in local schools that teach in Kurdish or Assyrian, so the Christian Aid Program Nohadra - Iraq (CAPNI) provides transportation to Duhok, where they study in schools that meet their needs.

<br />
'I belong to an association of small-scale banana producers in southern Ecuador, called ASOGUABO. There are about 130 members, and of those, we are about 35 women producers.<br />
<br />
We've been exporting bananas for 22 years. This year I've been on the board, and it's been gratifying, and we have to contribute to the association. <br />
<br />
Fairtrade has had a really positive impact. Women have been able to participate effectively since the beginning.<br />
<br />
The Fairtrade premium is really important for lots of social programmes here. The government here doesn't give enough help to schools for example, so we can step in and help build a new classroom or toilet block or a play area. With the workers, we can pay for insurance, health care. Among the producers we can help with organic fertilizers, and increase our productivity. We prioritise what we spend the premium on. <br />
<br />
The most important thing for us is the stability and a fair price, stability that we will sell our bananas 52 weeks of the year.<br />
<br />
We're really worried here about TR4, it's a fungus that could hurt our business badly, not just ours but everyone in the region'<br />
<br />
Tropical Race 4, known as TR4, is a strain of the fungus Fusarium Oxysporum, which causes Fusarium wilt, also known as Panama disease, in Cavendish cultivars. TR4 has devastated commercial plantations of Cavendish bananas in Taiwan, Indonesia, Malaysia and Australia’s Northern Territory. There is a legitimate fear that TR4 can wipe out banana production in Ecuador, it cannot be controlled using fungicides or fumigation, so preparation for containment is being made, but there is a tangible fear among producers that their livelihood can be wiped out, and there are already confirmed cases of TR4 very nearby in Colombia.

  • 21 November 2018, Geneva, Switzerland: On 21 November, H.A.H. the Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew I of Constantinople and his delegation joined local children to watch the premiere of “Children come on board, children come first!”, a special edition of "Les Parlottes des Theopopettes" created for the 70th anniversary of the WCC. On the occasion of 2018 World Children’s Day, and in recognition of the World Council of Churches' 70th anniversary, UNICEF and WCC convene a number of WCC member churches and common partners to celebrate the UNICEF-WCC global partnership and to take stock of the many achievements of the Churches’ Commitments to Children. In line with the spirit of a day “for children, by children,” the celebratory event placed children at the centre by asking them to share their recent experiences as participants in the several Youth Talks on ending violence in schools that WCC member churches around the world have organized in recent years; hearing the perspective of young migrants supported by a church-run sponsorship project; and showcasing promising examples of how churches support children in climate justice activities.
