a ledge 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 b o, not valencia, that i am and they used to be tremendous violence. he g, last fierce foster parties would often end in a loud, shed anger against alma's sent those in law. cathy, this is the cathedral of hootie culpa and every year on december 8th law, we celebrate the festival of the patron saint george have been naughty, i mean, but sometimes in 8 or 10 people would be shot dead during these celebrations that way. well, anchovy has also seen mass emigration together with her relief organization. linda, karen, yo yo is trying to convince the remaining residence to stay part home casala sunday . this case is not simple. emily telecom, our organization has done everything in its power to help the family co, morgan,

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 looked on his own without any warning, just like that k arlknowles, we get that my brother has a job, i and then he drives a cabin town. see, and he's the one that brings us food every day and keeps us going. he and thought of the i look 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 or 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 look at, i english, the vice lenient go on a liquid molecule. the teacher said that there is a lot of migration fee, if you yes, more and more children are being taken out of school because their families are leaving. so the classes my bank getting on this quin from okay, i already back go over some of it and without students there won't be any work for the teachers either 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 down to the bottom. i think will it aid that on? let's see how it goes for her. i trust that the gods healthy all will be. well again, sending the jackie from here, the route goes to san pedro. so love cut out and from there it crosses the border

into guatemala. what their mom, he goes to re guatemala and across the mexican bordeaux. yeah. 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. yeah, i you see, boy paul, gosh, i bled. the asa mm . mm oh, okay. login to my yodi adela rental. most of the younger generation from milan show have moved to the us and amazon. they us, there are villages completely devoid of young people in lock. i may do run off or land ciocca more or less thought everywhere. in honduras, the population is getting older left because the young a flame, the situation at home because she are looking for

a better future in the united states. so neither most gun loans, little or on the y fi, alberto count. she is a priest and who to calibre a native of malta. he's lived in the city since 1995 count. she 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 pocket. this. this is where i live, go. i have a small kitchen, a toilet, and a bathroom son darya by u. g. a thought bill. it's small, but it's enough for me. yeah. he is at this is my bedroom. noise

for it's not because i'm poor that my mattress is on the ground, the nova. it's because i tend to roll out of bed and hit my head on the floor. huh . so i prefer being close to the ground. yes. very often a needle. ah, and it honestly, those embryos, he has opened the door, which i have been some work there. nothing. some people think i can afford a bed, but that's not it. lamb, i didn't know so almost ran. we franciscans live very much by the motto, the poor but not miserable. not little stand up. oh, oh, oh, oh

ah ah, yes, in 1st grade, last year she went to a kindergarten close by. but now she is going to school yesterday in the next class, jesse and they were yay! when i am away, the kids will stay with my sister in law, and my mom from the 2 of them will take care of them for me. getting on one plaza, me a young a, some live, some friends i and myself. okay. it will be very difficult because i've never been

away from my daughter. oh, well then i got a lead. i'm in the illinois with scott, i'm only doing this to give all 3 of them a better future. even if to will have to stay here focused. i'll never abandon them like their father dead will come alive. again, as it is time for having to leave them behind because they're still so small. so a month. oh, of course you must continue coming to school every day unless we have a note from your parents. i am of the needle. 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 ended on yeah, my gratian is really affecting us too. for there are fewer and fewer students every learn. hi, ma'am,

i think will ecological. and then one last year we had 70 school children on barbara. i knew so we were able to employ more teachers then think by said that the laws are young. well dot, my asked us, now we're down to 42 children. why didn't buy the home? how did that one time? uh huh. what didn't buy the oh boy, maria, any of most of the children had emigrated to the usa with their parents. well, as i am okay, on the u. s. government recently decided to allow parents accompanying their under age children to cross the border thought. so now the children are effectively being used as these. does that come with the fact that has caused many parents to take their children out of school and bring them along for the risky journey lee? that's what's been happening to our children lately. yet gap us, i always get my medical nestor. 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 was salvador, quite to milan and honduras. you all have a serious gang problems study the gangs when they got in the lunch, all no exist even alonzo. we don't have any of that. venita street gangs from the coast around san piedra sula, oregon have tried to set up shop here, but i just had a spot for various reasons. they haven't been able to gain any footing. autopay so no kind of look at either. each other he says and lunch will antoinette out in my thank god we don't have that problem in a luncheon,

is so 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, but or straight into the afterlife, or noise by them. but on there, you know, by jump on another one done. so that's why we're better protected against the gangs . i will die bad. it's worse in san pedro sola ok and there people get rod because they don't know each other. it's more complicated there in bleak prospect. so one of the main reasons for the emigration of so many a launch

a residence, especially in the countryside. while i thought they were more than 1000 meters above sea level, went after the daughter here we've just finished our coffee harvest. learn to listen with our little joint. yes, almost. i mean on the la football coffee, it was a 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 workers now yoletta garcia's jose. i yeah. that so now lemme know the old idea is as garza bought, there is a shortage of workers. la are. but the main reason 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 in 11th grade thinking that will be the solution to all their problems. a lot to lose young as a floor lamp. an

am okay. our la la la, but nowadays are you. there are good job opportunities here as well. when i see that working went through and i think that will slow down the emigration a bit. i then awoke order for lemme let me get a feel. he le let us on 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 or a still gonna look and embody this door law. how steady or the last thing i tried to grow was beans and build up on sale. i looked at the car, i had to invest 400 euros in my blogs, and i learned about the, the meal and beat us for a simple example,

almost him. but of course, as a fama, you assume that you will make a profit on the harvest. and that goes on, but i didn't earn anything from my bainsville on the contrary line, but it's okay. so i only got 120 euros back out of my 400 euro investment. laid them down little bit. i've tried twice now at all, but i couldn't make a profit eat the time they get oak, a seal on the head. i don't know what i want it. i love my country and i'm happy here but gone from angela sophia and i guess i will have to try a 3rd title, basil amend lamazzo. we'll see. bob had a lot of st. always. ah

. a freight 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 be almost up. and a doctor told me that with surgery, she has a 90 percent chance of being able to use her legs. normally what he said, diagnosis and she has moderate cerebral palsy, said it and it's left all of her left side paralyze all and i and then said ever thought of silver but i'm excited. i landed place can have 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. oh, 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 sac 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. why a felony collapsing malady? i mean, yeah, she'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 less way more than that. but the number no matter what are the silicon ethically i'm highlighting. oh no, be any gangs in alonzo, but that doesn't mean residents are 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 legal give come up. 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 the price that it was $2000.00 each. meaning more they had said $500.00 won't get

you anywhere. and oh, good came in for me to carry out or show. milled on the kidnappers 1st demanded, $8000.00. let us say we're huddled. then they went down to 2000 and the law, hampton, with joel to how friends and acquaintances pulled us as much money together as they could afford to live on the in autumn. but how are we going to find that kind of money? one of the name of oklahoma we live from hand to mouth, delilah, and mostly eat rice and bessie and thus in a 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 made a lot of kilo hey, the city and the 2 of them had been fighting to leave for a long time, but i was against it, but they went any way of being lazy but i'm not to what it was just sad holloway, i went home and all i could do was cry, you know,

i didn't know where we were going to get such an amount today a lot, but when my friends found out about the situation, i but they started scraping together the money to save my brothers. i got battle a battle on where they were. thank god, the kidnappers, know the ransom the phone, 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. you know, i can't wait to hear from them, but i still have no word like yet. okay. so do you think they'll return? okay, no, committee on my list that will lead them back to me with the help of god. don't make it fabulous. i had your advocate i i haven't been happy since the day they left it. 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 hope that it's not easy unless patsy knows . basil 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. again, this is for . mm ah, the town of rosario, with 5000 inhabitants, depends on money send from the u. s. a saudi profits, a lot from these remittances. and hopefully by now,

we important to play increase the quality of life for our residents. land to help them further develop our town. but on that top one is not really listed. quando lent a lot. i got us of the emigrants that helped their home towns by sending money back to make life a little better for their relative mcclung g. c. m. handle. if i still buddha, a guide in 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 in metabolism. let me uriah that most of the construction right now is funded with money from relatives abroad. l. m as us many resario residents trying to emigrate to the united states,
