Notes:
00:00 – 01:31 – Jan Egeland visits a migrant transit center, Centro de Attencion de Migrantes Irregulares (CAMI) Arenales, near Danlí in Honduras where people journeying North in search of safety and a better life can receive support and services. The centre opened three months ago. 75,000 people passed through it during this time, to register for a transit permit allowing them to continue their journey. Many people who arrive have crossed through the deadly Darien Gap where they have encountered violence and hardship. A majority of people this year come from Venezuela, Haiti and Ecuador, but dozens of nationalities are represented. A majority are young men.
01:32 - 02:53 - Jan Egeland visits a school in La Lima, close to San Pedro Sula. The number of students has reduced from 5,000 to 1,200 in the last 4 years as youth migrate north. Children are fleeing horrific gang violence, extreme weather events, poverty and hopelessness. NRC is working to upgrade school facilities and improve teacher and vocational training.
02:54 - 03:22 - Jan Egeland visits a woman who runs a food kitchen near San Pedro Sula. Nolvia Fajardo, who has 4 children and lost everything during hurricanes Eta and Iota. Now she runs a successful food stall, having received support from NRC in order to purchase equipment.
03:23 – 04:11 - Jan Egeland visits a couple who run a successful hairdressing salon near San Pedro Sula. Jose and Reine Margarita had to flee the hurricanes and said that after they returned nothing remained of their home, only mud. With NRC support they rebuilt their salon.
04:12 – 06:23 - The Instituto Oficial Perla del Ulua in El Progreso, near San Pedro Sula, is a public school build in 1980, counting around 3,000 students. The school’s infrastructure, already in a precarious condition, experienced further deterioration during the Eta and Iota hurricanes in 2020, when it was used as a shelter for detainees of a nearby prison. Starting two months ago, NRC is implementing micro-projects in the school, conceived in a participatory process with a committee composed of parents, teachers, and administrative staff. The micro-projects include the rehabilitation of toilets, water systems and supply, and construction of showers for the sports hall.
06:24 - 06:51 - Mirna Mejía, Rina Arauz and Marta Judith are inhabitants of the communities Roma and Filadelphia, near San Pedro Sula in Honduras. The communities experienced extreme flooding during the Eta y Iota hurricanes in 2020. With support fro NRC they are growing plants to protect against future flooding.
