  • A mother with twins at the Mary Ward Primary Health Care Clinic in Maker Kuei, South Sudan.<br />
<br />
In some parts of Africa, the birth of twins is not good news. Perhaps because a marginally nourished mother was unable to produce enough milk to care for two infants, some tribes developed the custom of letting one child die. They wouldn't kill it, per se, just set it in the bush and leave it to its own fate. Among the Dinka in this part of South Sudan, a child set aside in this manner was referred to as "becoming a lion." <br />
<br />
To combat the practice, and reverse the stigma that often attached to the mother of twins, the clinic of the Loreto schools outside of Rumbek started a special program for mothers of twins, assuring proper nutrition and health care for the mother and both children. On this day, there were more than a dozen mothers with their twins who came to the clinic, where twins are celebrated as a blessing.

  • Nor Madit breast feeds her twin children in a camp for displaced people in Melijo, South Sudan, near that country's border with Uganda. Families here fled fighting around Bor, in Jonglei State, in December 2013, but have not been warmly welcomed to this region of Eastern Equatoria State, where two earlier waves of displaced people in the 1980s and 1990s have left relations tense between the newcomers, who are Dinka, and the largely Ma'adi residents around the city of Nimule. The ACT Alliance is helping the displaced families and the host communities affected by their presence, and is supporting efforts to reconcile the two groups.

  • 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 />

  • Members of Minnesota's Hmong community, joined by others, protest outside the headquarters of KDWB, a Minneapolis radio station that broadcast a song making fun of Hmongs. The song claimed that Hmong women are pregnant by the time they're 16, and that Hmongs live 30 people to a house, packed like sardines and sleeping on the floor. The song, broadcast on the morning Dave Ryan in the Morning Show, has provoked outrage among many in the Twin Cities, and caused several companies to pull their advertising from the popular show. Officials of the station, which is owned by Clear Channel Communications, have apologized, but Hmong leaders are demanding a greater response from the station.
