blackmailing the criminals around us glare. so self in the extortion. money was then used to fund the political campaigns of m. p, 's, plymouth. and even a presidential candidate brought up a caliah to dial up as he is here. in san pedro sula, these extortionist gangs have become a real plague with that's not the only thing the city's residents have had to contend with. in november, 2020 forces of nature also took that all hurricane eta and yatta caused the worst destruction in decades in the city and the surrounding region war and the areas inundated by the france still haven't fully recovered. when will you be at the sea?

everything behind and migrated north towards the u. s. l because the situation here will be so hopeless. we left this little is left up at the gum into. you can see that a big crack opened up in this whole up to one month of constant rain us major window. when the water reached up to death will as well just kept pouring down without pause meant to and a lot of people ended up dying. yes. a yoyo indian b? yes. one which i didn't think you. i mean, would you boss on the mallet more? there were dead animals yet a water. i, dogs, horses, cows, look hello. and this is what the land. whoops like a ghost town. it and it was like the houses are in bad shape. and you can see how high the water level was at the time when bill a good a just by looking around at the bus to come almost everything got destroyed. and

the last yeah, we knew we thought it was booking. people didn't return to the houses because they were afraid of diseases like i used to say the streets of basically empty. this we're lucky is 2. mm mm mm mm mm, mm land think immediate. i am almost all honduran migrants come from the poorest layers of society that the last had only a much it which i see while docile. there is a lot of inequality, alley and no social justice mafia. my good, i'm the,

the countries biggest mafia is the government, which is all in a criminal activities. emma gas, the la manase, bundio is capital bulk. people are trying to escape from hunger a lot and then they to have hopes and dreams of a better lion. you left him, they see politicians and rich entrepreneur living in the luxury mansions and driving expensive cars goes up. while the for part of society has the bend over backwards just to scrape by any kind of feedback on mm . from san pedro sula, we traveled to a lan show, as the largest of honduras is 18 departments. it has a dark past of its own it off i was off what

a late o'callahan that the launcher used to be notorious for people taking the law into their own house like in the old wild west that does it. i'd be only valencia that i am and they used to be tremendous violence here at kayla's fierce fust and parties would often end in the lud. shad i'm going to a kia down was st. douglas in lockhart. this is the cathedral of hootie culpa and every year on december 8th law, we celebrate the festival of the patron saint jail would have been id, i'm in, but sometimes an 8 or 10 people would be shot dead during these celebrations. that boy polanko has also seen mass emigration together with her relief organization. linda, karen, yo. yar is trying to convince the remaining residence to stay part honk. i saw that this case is not simple. m, i a 1000. our organization has done everything in its power to help the family or

morgan, but there's actuation is complicated a because one of the children has special needs some to complicate from laneer on the new special ed. the mother has 2 other children and no job. i seemed so understandably, she gets desperate if i can, because no mother wants to see her children suffer when a malady carrier, as we'll see, half noise at fantasy. how are you doing? i'm good. i was expecting, you know? yeah. i come right in here you go. wow. where's the little one? and then i right here. let myself go. our organization tries to help where it can do it. well, she has 3 daughters in, in their father took off and she has no idea where he is. scarlet,

both are good for you know, some enough of her mom, mom i she comes. this is the one with special needs. hello sweetie. i feel, ah, she needs surgery, but it costs almost 3000 euros surgery on this help with straighten her leg. so she would be able to walk. yeah, welcome. in bed in the girls father left for the us about 3 years ago. at 1st i think he stayed in touchy, but i haven't heard from him in ages. oh, but he doesn't answer the phone anymore or maybe he has a new number in there is no reply in any case, but i think on the on that a lot of funding for one of us i think he got one in italy when he was running

yesterday he asked me if he could take one of the girls with him. i said no, and maybe he was angry about that. the one was a lemonade up on the same way. so then all of the sudden he just left on his own without any warning, just like that day. either we get that my brother has a job, i and then he drives a cabin tone seat and he is the one that brings us food every day. and keeps us going. he and thought of the i looked at it, i guess i had a half up on you don't want the taxi id as a motorcycle cab driver, you have good days and bad days. but you have to eat every day. oh,

but sondra. oh man though it's not easy when you have 8 people depending on an uncertain salary, this is better. a, it would make most people despair. but these are the conditions you'll find all over the country i. i english will bite with when you go on a liquid molecule. teacher said that there is a lot of migration fee. if you look yes, more and more children are being taken out of school because their families are leaving so the class is collaborate galion. it's going from a gallery beckett over some of it and without students there won't be any work for the teachers either. you're with the kindergarten will rate. there are hardly any children left there and those, and you definitely want to leave the u. s. 70. yes, they see you with her with her. the other 2 you are leaving here at the yes with my

mom. and how are you going to manage? traveling alone is dangerous, so not to mention having a child with special needs y'all and raphi. i know it won't be easy, her paper with nature from i think i heard that it is supposed to be a really hard and exhausting journey. it takes 2 or even 3 weeks. but the lucky ones make it across the border, but some don't on the 8th that on let's see how it goes for her. i trust that the gods healthy all will be when you're sending the jackie from here by the route goes to san pedro. so look that up and from there it

crosses the border into guatemala. what their mom. he goes to re guatemala and across the mexican bordeaux, mexico. immigration from the south has been turned into a shady business. and so long there are kidnappings and coyotes who demand phase for smuggling people across the u. s. broad outside that and there is very little anyone can do about it. you see lloyd polka said, why did they, i mean oh, okay, login on my yada, yada la rental. most of the younger generation from alonzo have moved to the us and amazon. they us, there are villages completely devoid of young people in luck. i may do run off or land joker more or less thought everywhere in honduras the population is getting older left because the young a flame, the situation at home. cuz she looking for

a better future in the united states, only those most scandals. little wrong. why fi? alberto county is a priest in who took alpa a native of malta. he's lived in the city since 1985 couch. he has raised money to build a soccer stadium, a home for the elderly, and a children's home in honduras, where corruption is everywhere, people trust county. it is obvious to the residence that the money he collected did not go into his own pockets. this is this, this is where i live. oh, i have a small kitchen, a toilet and a bathroom son diary. he thought, well, it's small, but it's enough for me. the jackie is then pick davis is my bedroom. no,

it's not because i'm poor that my mattress is on the ground. no more. it's because i tend to roll out of bed and hit my head on the floor. so i prefer being close to the ground. shift very often a needle and it on the same, those in pretty asi adult needles, which i have been somewhat then. i think some people think i can afford a bed, but that's not it. lemme i did it myself. on those we franciscans live very much by the mottos a pool, but not miserable. not little stand up. oh, oh. oh, okay.

i, i believe she's in 1st grade. last year she went to a kindergarten close by. but now she's going to school yesterday and my grandma jessie amelia, on. when i am away, the kids will stay with my sister in law and my mom and the 2 of them will take care of them for me. get income. what unpleasant meal young

lady lives in prison myself. okay. it will be very difficult because i've never been away from my daughter at all. well then, i guess i'll leave them in the local i was got, i am only doing this to give all 3 of them a better future for k. even if to will have to stay here and focus on never abandon them like their father dead or common later. and i say it is time for having to leave them behind because they're still so small percentage, if you felt a mock and thought of course, you must continue coming to school every day unless we have a note from your parents. i am of the new though. no, i haven't. we've lost a significant number of students, not just here, but all over the region and all over the country. what i think a lot of the migration is really affecting us to for there are fewer and

fewer students every year. and number 3 called echo lack of them one last year we had 70 school children about our annual. so we were able to employ more teachers then that then the other young dot my, after now we're down to 42 children. what am i the homeowner? how did that one come up on? what did by the la la maria, any as most of the children had emigrated to the usa with their parents, rosario mac is only the u. s. government recently decided to allow parents accompanying their under age children to cross the border. i would be so now the children are effectively being used as visas. yeah, that has caused many parents to take their children out of school and bring them along for the risky journey lane. that's what's been happening to our children lately. we ever get buffalo give, i meant to call mr. ah,

despite being less affected by the gang violence, elantra has also seen a wave of migration. to better understand this, we have to take a closer look at the region. i decided my lord will as salvador, guatemala and honduras, they all have a serious game problems, study the gangs when they got in the lunch or no exit, even a launcher. we don't have any of that venita street gangs from the coast around san pedro. so la oregon have tried to set up shop here, but i could set a spot for various reasons. they haven't been able to gain any footing. auto loan can look at either a child rice as an or lunch will lunch onasia not than than we thank god we don't have that problem. you know,

luncheon is a mom, this is a region where everybody knows everybody thought. and if a stranger arrives here and tries to exit article knows that they are either quickly sent back to where they came from or straight into the afterlife. or know if i can, but i'll in there, you know much about it another month. and that's why we're better protected against the gangs. i will and i bet it's worse in san pedro sula. okay. and there people get rod because they don't know each other. it's more complicated. they're not bleak prospect. so one of the main reasons for the emigration of so many

a lunch residence, especially in the countryside. i'm, i'm like, dude, are they? we're more than 1000 meters above sea level. when i'm at the door here, we've just finished our coffee harvest ladder within with several joint. yes. almost that a mean angela football coffee. it was a little bit of that in the when we've honestly i, this year's harvest was very good for us. oil. what's been going on, but we had real problems finding enough worker value letter back because he knows. yeah, that, so now lemme know the old idea is, is gather, bought again. there is a shortage of workers, lamar, but the main reasons is that most of the young people who are usually working in the fields have emigrated. so one door immediate on flight. ha, they go to the united states and the level thinking that will be the solution to all their problems. say that's a lucille i so throw, lemme get

am okay, our la la la, but nowadays, oh yeah, there are good job opportunities here as well. when i see their wiki went through, and i think that will slow down the emigration a bit. i've been in a ballpark for lemme, lemme get us in a most of us pull fun as focus on the simpler crops, mainly growing corn and beans. gay and look at mosque, but those harvests are basically with nothing bad. oh, it's all gonna look and embody this door la hm. city or the last thing i tried to grow was beans and build up on sale. i looked at the thought i had to invest for 100 euros in my blogs i learned about

the the meal and beat us for a. ready sampling impact, i want to see him, but of course, as a farmer you assume that you will make a profit on the harvest that goes on, but i didn't earn anything from my veins on the contrary line, but it's okay. so i only got 120 euro's back out of my 400 euro investment. laid them down little place. i've tried twice now at all, but i couldn't make a profit either time. they get oak, a steel on the hits. i don't know what i want it. i love my country and i'm happy here but gone summer goes by. so when i guess i will have to try a 3rd title, basil amend luasa will see bob and i'm not upset with

ah a i'm afraid that they will send us back because we're all making a great sacrifice by deciding to leave bar and the can. but i dream of a better future for my child. i want her to finally be able to walk normally, bianca pocket. a doctor told me that with surgery, she has a 90 percent chance of being able to use her legs. normally. what he said, a diagnosis. and she has moderate cerebral palsy, said it, and it's left all of her left side paralyze on that particular day and then said, ever thought of silver but i'm excited. i love that place again. her boys in my oldest daughter also need a pin again and again,

i don't really want to leave her up or any of them. they had all they all need me at the one with special needs more than the others. say yes, said thought you're back them it, that you'll i like i can understand her gestures and facial expressions. she signals with her eyes when she is thirsty or hungry. without me, her life would be much harder. must they sat within them yet it will la nina. of course. she wants to help her daughter no later on, but there's no guarantee that she'll make it in. and one possibility is that the girls will lose their mother along the way for a felony, a collapsing malady? i mean, yeah, i guess. yeah, he's sitting out here in her girl and not knowing what dangers lie ahead came out

again. no, sorry. we can't stop her, but we also don't have the resources to give her the help she needs to hear when the love way more than that. but then the more no maybe, but i feel like ethically i'm highlighting. oh, that may not be any gangs in alonzo, but that doesn't mean residence is safe from their violence. those trying to get to the us in search of a better life may encounter great danger along the way. daniel santos, his 2 brothers set out for the us some time ago. no one had heard from them since until one day when the phone rang your matter we received voice messages. will una molina give come with you won't see your sons again until you pay. $3500.00 isn't enough and you haven't even deposited that much. the minimum would be half price, you know, they put $2000.00 each. meaning more,

they have to $500.00 won't get you anywhere. no good came in for so let me to carry out or show. milled on, the kidnappers 1st demanded. $8000.00. all mother said, well, how to one? then they went down to 2000 and the law, hampton, with you all the how friends and acquaintances pulled us as much money together as they could afford to live on day in order. but how are we going to find that kind of money? let the name of oklahoma we live from hand to mouth, darla and mostly eat rice and bessie unless plenty, by making a collection in the neighboring villages, could we finally managed to get the full 2000 and that the kidnappers had demanded . and the middle a lot of kilo hey, the city and the 2 of them had been planning to leave for a long time, but i was against it but they went anyway, i don't know what the what 3,

it was just sad holloway, i went home and all i could do was cry i, i didn't know where we were going to get such an amount today. yeah, a lot, but when my friends found out about the situation, i started scraping together the money to save my brothers. i got battle to battle on where they were. thank god, the kidnap is low, the ransom a lot of otherwise we'd never have made it to the law. must a brothers this course. i think that i know you're not, but you know, not yet doing that. i can't wait to hear from them, but i still have no word like why? the out. okay. so do you think they'll return home? okay, no committee on my list that will lead them back to me with the help of god don't make it a lot. i haven't been happy since the day they left. i think it was especially bad when they were in captivity or not. it's just a i'm

with somebody i'm looking for that and i don't know that it's not easy unless patsy . no person is vanessa, and they are risking their lives. no, no, it's unwise. and i think you should return home if you can't make it across the border. ask the question on this because for mm ah . the town of resario with 5000 inhabitants depends on money send from the u. s. a. saudi profits a lot from these remittances in i'd probably by know we import time to pay,

increase the quality of life for our residents and help to further develop our town . but i'm not really not really listed. quando lent a lot. i got to settle the emigrants, had helped their home towns by sending money back to make life a little better for their relative nicholas d. c. handle. if i still buddha, a guide the money arriving and helped to improve the infrastructure in every ways. i'm it was will be the end. it's also used to repair people's homes for money and raised the general quality of life in town and looked up a lot. let me. oh yeah. yeah. most of the construction right now is bonded with money from relatives abroad. l m, as us many

resario residents trying to emigrate to the united states, but ended up in the hands of mexican kidnappers. cono's re us is one of them was yes i, when i was kidnapped on my way to the u. s. s. 2, and i just happened in, right, know, so the only where i was waiting for a few days to be able to cross the river for calling. hey, i had my son with me. i'm with him on the job. we were waiting in a shed, and from there we were both kidnapped. and you know, they grabbed us and demanded a ransom for our freedom, piano, what they but for me dollars. $4000.00 in charlotte. miss, i'm, we're gonna, we're, our family was certain that they both get killed with a ransom that the kidnappers demanded was way too high. we didn't have $8000.00 of mean, it was a really tough time for us, a simple mental well momento. it was

a terrible experience is it's still painful to think back on what we had to go through the momentum and even after they've gone. it's the gulf cartel. they could not he, belinda, man, lodge ransoms from their families. i did a little more to see bill that people in town began to raise some money, was able to people who we walked from village to village collecting donation. so i said, and they don't allow me. i got a lot of help from neighbors and friends out of funding. how did they threaten you? oh, c o c no, but they said they'd kill us if our families didn't pay out. aah! let me know. we would. i've been threatened with guns and machetes. let's go and
