  • Mario David Castellanos Murillo,12, "the Caravan Boy". <br />
<br />
Mario's mother has a long-term mental illness, his father works long hours as a security guard and doesn't earn the minimum salary. Mario had been spending his time in the street instead of going to school, juggling for tips or selling chewing gum at traffic lights in San Pedro Sula. When the caravan left in October last year, Mario decided to join it. Mario's case was highlighted in some media who dubbed him The Caravan Boy.<br />
<br />
"It's dangerous in the street, there are lots of kids in the street, some people take drugs, they smoke glue, sometimes kids disappear. So. I went on the caravan, on my own. I went walking sometimes, sometimes I jumped on lorries, trailers, sometimes I got lifts in little cars. At the border I went through running, with everyone else that was running, everyone was running. They caught me in Mexico, they were using the crying gas and a woman grabbed me and pulled me away, she took me to a clinic. Then they took my details, and took me to a children's home and flew me back to Honduras on an aeroplane. That was sort of okay. It was easy to escape from the place they put me. I got over the wall, I was in the mountains running. I hid in a tree for a while. Then I got back here, I'm living with my uncle [guardian]". <br />
<br />
Mario's guardian says that Mario's case highlights the precarious social reality of many people living in families with very low incomes, or with mental health issues. He spoke at length about problems of poverty around the city of San Pedro Sula, the industrial capital of Honduras. If people are lucky, they have a job, but they work long hours and can't make ends meet. People have a right to escape terrible conditions if they can see a better alternative somewhere else, he says. Through CASM, he says, Mario has been able to start going to school.

  • Fanny Ruiz, San Pedro Sula<br />
<br />
Fanny’s son, Jorge Alexander, joined the migrant caravan, against her will, and got to the US border at Tijuana. One night, he was lured into a house with two other Honduran boys, Jorge Alexander and one other were tortured and killed, the third boy escaped. This follows months of hate speech in the media in Mexico and the US, against migrants, and the killings are being treated as hate crimes.<br />
<br />
"My name is Fanny Ruiz. When I was four years old my father killed my mother. My father was sent to prison for a while. Then my brother was killed. My next brother was disappeared, we never saw him again. Then my third brother was killed. Of the six brothers and sisters that we were, just us three girls are alive now. <br />
<br />
Thank God I'm still alive, to carry on looking after my children, but it's not great having to hide in your own country so that nothing happens to you. <br />
<br />
All girls and women in this country are in a dangerous position, many of us are scared to go out in case we get followed and raped and killed.<br />
<br />
I have shrapnel all over me, here in my forehead, in my back, my legs, my breasts. I was shot 13 times, they were trying to kill me. Thank God, I am still here, alive to look after my kids.<br />
<br />
I have worked in lots of things to take care of my children: gardening, farming, building construction, flooring, cooking. I’m good with money, I work hard, I don’t have any vices, but that's not enough."<br />
<br />
Fanny is pictured with two of her children in the cemetery, at the grave they prepared to bury Jorge Alexander while they were waiting for the repatriation of his body.

  • Early morning view over the  gang-controlled area of Chamelecón of San Pedro Sula, a hell hole where even the Police and Army are afraid to enter, where many have lost their homes, been abused, taxed, robbed and have perished, all  at the hands of gangs. This was the last sight of the city for another migrant caravan departing from the city. Migrants walked and hitchhiked on their way to the border points. Most went to Aguas Calientes in Ocotepeque, some went to El Florido in Copán. It was reported that nearly 1,700 Hondurans were registered at the border crossings in Guatemala, more than 300 of them were returned from the Honduras side because of deficiencies in the legality of their paperwork.

  • Suany Castillo, 35, San Pedro Sula<br />
<br />
"I used to work in textile factories, I was a machine operator, sewing on sleeves. Because my son got ill, I looked for help from a money lender. He lent me the money. Then he'd take all my salary, all of it. He charges 20% a week. I was earning 1,900 Lempiras, sometimes there'd be 80 Lempiras left over after paying the interest. I decided to resign from the job, because it wasn't enough to pay the interest and survive. They gave me 2,000 Lempiras, after working for years there, and I used it to start a small business making tortillas. But I'm a single mother, and the income wasn't enough to survive. When I heard about the caravan, I ran to join it. It was difficult, I was pregnant.<br />
<br />
We went up to Ocotepeque and from there through Guatemala and into Mexico. In Tuxtla we were in a little group, separated from the main group. We were walking for hours and then two trucks with men with balaclavas cut across us, they were armed. It was a place in the mountains, no houses. They wanted us to get onto the trucks. Someone said they were Zetas. Some people died, I ran with my children. I lost my kids for three days, I told them to run to Tecún Umán (the border). They opened fire on us while we ran, some people were killed. I won't get over it. I was raped and later I had a miscarriage, I was carrying twins. My kids got away. We were all covered in cuts and scratches, the thorns in our legs, we ran through the bushes and around the edges of fields. Three days later, I was desperate, I was searching for my kids, then in Tapachula I found my children, they were okay. I didn't know if they were alive. You don't know, I can't say what it was like, seeing them again. <br />
<br />
I turned myself in to the migration officials, I didn't want to carry on, they took us to the border. But, here I am again, alive, returning to live this poverty.<br />
<br />
CASM [a Mennonite organisation] has helped me, they've helped me a lot.<br />

  • A group of Central Americans searching for family members who disappeared in Mexico walks through 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. These women carry a flag from their native El Salvador.
