With love from Central America
A series of letters written by eight refugees, asylum-seekers and internally displaced people who are rebuilding their lives in Central America, where they must continue to live in the shadows to stay alive.
If you were forced to flee or into hiding – away from your family, left alone with your thoughts and fears – who would you reach out to?
Living in the midst of chronic violence and insecurity, tens of thousands of people from Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala have been forced to flee. Most are escaping the oppressive influence of organized crime. Others flee social and political instability in countries like Nicaragua. The number of refugees and asylum-seekers from the region has significantly increased, reaching over 409,000.
