  • A  boy gets his hair cut in the street in the Suburban neighborhood of Rodriguez, Rizal, in the Philippines.

Over the years since, with help from Christian Aid and other groups, community members have organized themselves and engaged in a process of disaster risk reduction, including identifying and mapping high-risk zones and evacuation routes in their area. Christian Aid has also assisted with financial and technical support for income generating livelihood projects and community enterprises.

<br />
Me fui para los Estados Unidos, estuve una semana y me deportaron. Supuestamente iba a trabajar, y me agarraron. No me trataron bien, me trataron como delincuente se puede decir. Un trata aquí de quitar los obstáculos en la vida, porque es difícil tener sus propios negocios, su casa, sus cosas, es bien difícil, entonces uno trata de hacer su vida, la vida de sus hijos, y trata de tener una vida nueva en otro país, porque en este país no te dan un apoyo, no te dan una buena educación, y la economía no esta bien entonces no hay buenos trabajos. Solo mire el país, como estamos, así no se puede, es bien difícil. Entonces decidí. Irme. <br />
<br />
Sufrí.<br />
<br />
La delincuencia que estamos sufriendo en este país es exagerado. Empieza con los políticos y los policías. Estamos acabados. Es difícil llegar a tener algo en la vida en este país. Por eso tantas personas deciden irse, por lo mismo, porque no tenemos un empleo, la canasta básica es demasiada alta, el combustible, es una vida muy complicada<br />
<br />
Mi mamá ya no podía darnos más que un tiempo de comida, estaba sacrificado, y ya no. Decidí. Estuve en Mexico, trabajé en lo que sea en Mexico, conocí una chava, ella me ayudó. Por medio de ella conocí un coyote. Me fui por el río, por Michoacán. Sufrí bastante. Caminé mucho, por el desierto. Después de tanto sufrimiento, cuando llegué estaba aliviado, que había llegado con vida. No todo el mundo llega. Me fui donde un primo hermano mío, estaba recuperando allí. El tiene papeles. Apenas estaba recuperando físicamente, de tanto macaneo, de las heridas y la deshidratación, y había perdido mucho peso, estaba muy flaco, cuando me agarró la migra. Muchos no llegan. Muchos se mueren en el camino.<br />
<br />
Iba gente, iban débiles del viaje, que ya no podían, no tenían fuerzas, y no podían con el río. Se iban por el río, no podían, como cruzar. Se iban con hambre, con sueño, golpeados. Una muchacha. Se la llevó el río. Se

  • Cameta Pierre braids the hair of Jean Baptiste Elisee in the Corail resettlement camp north of Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Residents of the camp, survivors of the devastating January 2010 earthquake, were relocated to the remote location from overcrowded tent cities for the homeless in the nation's capital. Yet shortly after its establishment, thousands of homeless families from around the capital region moved to the area and began constructing their simple homes around the edges of the official camp, creating a complex set of questions for camp managers. The United Methodist Committee on Relief, a member of the ACT Alliance, has built schools in the camp and is providing school furniture, teacher training, and educational materials for students. Planners consider these transitional homes--houses designed to get quake survivors into homes quickly, yet which residents will be expected to modify and improve in coming years.

<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 />
