  • Santos Filadelfo Padilla, 17<br />
<br />
El programa es de apoyar a retornados. Yo llegué hasta la ciudad de México. De allí me deportaron. Yo iba en el autobús, y subieron, no eran policías sino de la migración. Otra gente les contaron a ellos quizás, y subieron. Me bajaron del bus, me llevaron a la garita, y allí me detuvieron. Dormí tres días allí. Y de allí me mandaron a la frontera con Mexico y Guatemala. Me tuvieron allí otros dos días. De allí me regresaron hasta aquí, a San Pedro Sula. Me llevaron al centro de retornados, para menores, hay un montón de camas allí en el Albergue Belén, allí estuve. <br />
<br />
Eso fue hace un año en diciembre. Salí el día 13 de diciembre, ya el 14 iba por Guatemala. Se me quedan los detalles pegados. <br />
<br />
Decidí irme por la pobreza. Uno sufre económicamente. No hay trabajos, no hay empleo. Y tengo bastantes amigos que si llegaron allí, en los estado unidos. Yo iba hacía Carolina del Norte, de mis amistades que están allí, allí están casi todos. Y hay otros en Texas.<br />
<br />
Hay muchas historias de horror. Hay gente que les puede secuestrar o algo. Y hay gente que sufre en el camino porque no tiene que comer. No hay nadie tal vez que les aconseje antes de ir, y van a sufrir en el camino. <br />
<br />
Aquí en Juticalpa tengo familia, soy de afuera, pero tengo familia aquí, y aquí me hablaron de la Federación, que estaban apoyando a migrantes retornados. <br />
<br />
La ayuda consiste en capacitación para mecánica y soldadura. Y con herramientas. Voy a trabajar en mecánica pesada, camiones. Hacen las capacitaciones aquí cerca. <br />
<br />
La vida de mi familia es bastante triste. Perdimos mi papá cuando tenía un año. Nos quitaron terrenos, la casa, quedamos sin nada. Cuando yo tenía siete salí de la escuela y empezé a trabajar, para ayudar a sostener mis hermanos. No teníamos nada.<br />
<br />
Nos han enseñado como hacer el trabajo, cobrar, hacer inventarios. Pienso, con las herramientas que me van a dar, poner mi propio taller aquí en Juticalpa.<br />

  • Hector Hermilo Perdomo, COCASJOL, Colinas, Santa Bárbara, Honduras. “With the two hurricanes that hit Honduras, the water that fell with them has affected us very much. We’ve had landslides, lots of land has been wiped out, taking with it our crops. Just in my bit of land I’ve lost two manzanas (5 acres) that means 7000 coffee plants that I’ve lost, that I can’t recover. Also the production of those 7000 plants, that’s about 35 quintals of dry pergamino coffee that I’ve lost. All this means I’m in difficulties financially, it’s a big loss. Also I’ve lost the musacea, the bananas we plant alongside the coffee as shade, and we have a substantial trade of bananas to Guatemala, mainly the small banana we call ‘mínimo’, we’ve lost that too. We’ve got big difficulties with access to and from our farms here, after the main roads and minor roads were affected by landslides, and that has made it hard to get any product out to market, or get machinery in to fix things on our farms. I’ve had 14 small landslides, and two big ones on my own property.”

  • Here Israeli machinery is at work building the Separation Barrier in the West Bank, near Beit Jala. <br />
<br />
85% of the barrier's planned route runs through the West Bank, mainly in areas where there are Israeli settlements and industrial zones. By July 2012, construction of the barrier was 62% complete. It left some 3% of the West Bank territory cut off, west of the barrier. Completed as planned, the barrier will isolate an additional area of more than 6% of West Bank lands on the Israeli side. Construction of the barrier in the West Bank gravely violates the rights of Palestinians in the areas affected, restricting their access to their lands, crucial services and relatives on the other side of the barrier. The barrier also prevents any possibility of economic development.
