P. Federico (Guatemala)Lo que puede estropear la oración es nuestra soberbia. Porque hace que en lugar de rezarle a Dios nos recemos a nosotros mismos. Y que, además de eso, acabemos despreciando a los demás.[Ver Meditación Escrita] https://www.hablarconjesus.com/meditacion_escrita/rezar-desde-la-humildad/

What if the thing standing between you and total lifestyle freedom… was just one business acquisition? A former respiratory therapist and a software developer – no entrepreneurial experience, no roadmap, no idea what they were doing – decided to bet on themselves anyway. And now? They're running a lean team of 11 VAs from wherever in the world they feel like being that week. Guatemala last month. St. Kitts for their anniversary. Belize next. You get the picture. In this episode, Jaryd Krause sits down with Alan and Mel, a husband-and-wife duo who tried every side hustle in the book – financial lending, credit repair, online teaching – before discovering that buying an existing online business was the shortcut they'd been exhausting themselves looking for. They used SBA financing to acquire a $1.2M business with just $65K out of pocket. They inherited 2 VAs and a chaotic operation. They were working 60-hour weeks at the start. And then – systematically, strategically – they rebuilt it, scaled it, and sold it. Profitably. Now they're already under LOI for their next deal. Here's what makes their story different though. Neither of them had ever owned a business before. One was in healthcare. One was in tech but still didn't think you could buy something you couldn't physically touch. They were scared, skeptical, and figuring it out in real time. Sound familiar? If you've ever wondered whether someone like YOU could actually pull this off – this episode is your answer. Hit play. You'll want to hear this one.

Daniel Haering conversa con Daniel Cerqueira, director del programa de Cambio Climático y Derechos Humanos de la Fundación para el Debido Proceso, sobre un tema que atraviesa buena parte de los conflictos en Guatemala: la tierra.La conversación parte de un informe que analiza el papel del Ministerio Público y, en particular, de la Fiscalía contra el delito de usurpación, una fiscalía creada durante la gestión de Consuelo Porras. El informe plantea que la política criminal impulsada en los últimos años ha terminado favoreciendo intereses privados en territorios indígenas y utilizando el derecho penal como principal herramienta para resolver conflictos agrarios.Hablamos de desalojos, del aumento de denuncias por usurpación, del papel que juegan finqueros, empresas y proyectos extractivos, y de cómo muchas comunidades indígenas terminan enfrentando procesos penales bincluso cuando habitan esos territorios desde hace décadas o siglos.

En este episodio de Tangente, Lucy Rodríguez conversa con Karla López, del Observatorio de Violencia de Diálogos Guatemala, sobre una pregunta incómoda pero necesaria: ¿es Guatemala un país seguro para las mujeres?A partir de nuevos datos sobre violencia contra la mujer y femicidio, la conversación explora qué está pasando realmente en el país, cómo se están comportando las cifras en los últimos años y qué patrones aparecen cuando se analizan con más cuidado. Hablamos de violencia letal, de agresiones que muchas veces no llegan a los titulares y de las dinámicas sociales que siguen colocando a muchas mujeres en situaciones de riesgo.También discutimos qué dicen los datos sobre dónde y cómo ocurre esta violencia, qué tan efectivas han sido las respuestas del Estado y por qué entender bien el fenómeno es clave para poder enfrentarlo. Más allá de los discursos, este episodio intenta poner sobre la mesa información, contexto y preguntas necesarias para discutir uno de los problemas más persistentes en Guatemala.

** We'll discuss this episode on Tuesday, March 10th (8 pm ET/5 pm PT) in our online community gathering, Macro ‘n Chill. We've invited Erald Kolasi to join us. So bring your questions. Register here: https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/hvkv5uyKQkG8DvgUMCckcwErald Kolasi is back to attack the bourgeois narrative on immigration, which reduces it to a series of individual choices. He and Steve dig into the material roots of migration, showing how empire, land theft, war, labor exploitation, and capitalist crisis have shaped global migration flows for centuries.They ground the discussion in Wallerstein's world-systems theory, defining an empire not by its internal politics but by its extractive external relations, and trace the concrete historical processes of this extraction. The "migration boomerang" from US destabilization in Guatemala, Nicaragua, and El Salvador – driven by the needs of capital like the United Fruit Company – demonstrates the dialectic in action.The empire's domination creates the displaced peoples it then scapegoats to divide the working class. Erald connects this to the long arc of capitalist development, from the Atlantic slave system to the prison-industrial complex, showing how the ruling class has always used race and nationality to prevent united class consciousness.With the MMT lens, Steve explains that this is directly tied to how a Federal Job Guarantee would shatter this dynamic by eliminating the "reserve army of labor" and the power of capital to discipline workers.Erald Kolasi is a writer and researcher focusing on the nexus between energy, technology, economics, complex systems, and ecological dynamics. His book, The Physics of Capitalism, came out from Monthly Review Press in February 2025. He received his PhD in Physics from George Mason University in 2016.

For years, Dad Tired founder Jerrad Lopes has dreamed about taking dads and their families on a mission trip together. In this episode, he shares an exciting new opportunity for Dad Tired families to serve alongside him and his own family in Guatemala in October 2026.The trip will partner with the missions organization Adventures in Missions to serve local communities outside Guatemala City. Families will have opportunities to participate in meaningful work such as serving in children's programs, supporting local ministries, building safer cooking stoves for families, and potentially helping build a home for someone in need. But this trip is about more than service projects. It's about expanding perspective, strengthening faith, and helping dads and their kids experience the global Church together. Jerrad shares why these kinds of trips can be spiritually transformative and why he believes every Christian family should consider stepping outside their comfort zone to see what God is doing around the world. Because this is the first Dad Tired mission trip, the team will be intentionally small—only 6–7 families total. In this episode, Jerrad explains the vision for the trip, what families can expect, and how listeners can apply to join.Learn more and apply:dadtired.com/missions

P. Federico (Guatemala)Jesús incomoda a los príncipes de los sacerdotes y a los fariseos.

Today, we're bringing you a special feed drop from ReCurrent, a podcast from the Getty that explores how art, history, and culture shape the world around us. In this episode of ReCurrent, host Jaime Roque takes us back to 1980s Los Angeles, when civil wars in El Salvador, Guatemala, and Nicaragua sent hundreds of thousands of people north and helped turn LA into “Little Central America.” With professor and longtime participant Rubén Martínez as our guide—someone who lived through this moment firsthand—we follow the Sanctuary Movement as churches quietly, and then publicly, open their doors to refugees the U.S. refused to recognize. Sanctuary meant food and a place to sleep, but it also meant music, theater, poetry, and posters that challenged U.S. policy while helping people process their grief. From there, we step inside Echo Park United Methodist Church, where artist and performer Elia Arce and a circle of Central American poets, musicians, and organizers transform the basement into a cultural home. We also sit with Rev. David Farley, pastor emeritus of Echo Park United Methodist, who was there to witness it all. Upstairs, families try to stay invisible on classroom floors; downstairs, performances inspired by banned writers, songs from back home, and handmade banners turn fear and exile into shared story. Our last stop is the Getty Research Institute, where researcher Jasmine Magaña—a Salvadoran Angeleno herself—is helping build a new, expansive record of this era.  Learn more about the episode here: https://www.getty.edu/podcasts/recurrent/central-american-art-and-resistance-in-1980s-la/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Trois jours après le déclenchement de l'opération « Fureur épique », l'administration Trump est toujours très attendue sur les justifications des frappes contre l'Iran. Les journaux s'interrogent sur les objectifs de Donald Trump en Iran. Car ceux-ci semblent changer de jour en jour. Il a d'abord été question d'éliminer la menace nucléaire iranienne, puis de faire tomber le régime des mollahs. Mais, cette idée semble désormais être abandonnée. Alors le Globe and Mail au Canada se pose la question : Donald Trump veut-il un changement de régime ou simplement « tondre le gazon », c'est-à-dire affaiblir l'adversaire ? Le quotidien prévient : « Tout comme l'herbe, la puissance militaire peut repousser. Tout comme l'herbe, il faudra peut-être la tondre à nouveau dans quelques mois ou quelques années ». Pour Politico, en tout cas, un scénario à la vénézuélienne, c'est-à-dire décapiter le régime pour laisser s'installer un pouvoir plus coopératif, est difficilement envisageable. L'Iran n'est pas le Venezuela, avertit Politico. Il ne s'agit pas d'un pouvoir mafieux en place depuis un quart de siècle, mais d'une théocratie installée depuis cinq décennies. Et contrairement au Venezuela, et bien que Donald Trump ait affirmé le contraire dimanche (1er mars 2026), son administration n'a identifié aucun successeur à l'ayatollah Khamenei.   Un pari à hauts risques La presse se penche également sur les conséquences politiques de ce conflit pour Donald Trump. C'est le cas du New York Times, pour qui le locataire de la Maison Blanche joue là son propre avenir politique, mais aussi celui de son parti. Car même si sa base semble le soutenir pour l'instant, certains de ses alliés disent craindre en privé que les coûts de cette guerre soient plus élevés que les gains. Cela, relève le New York Times, risque de placer les candidats républicains aux élections de mi-mandat dans une position délicate si le conflit tourne mal ou si l'Iran sombre dans le chaos. Devront-ils continuer à soutenir leur chef ou, au contraire, prendre leurs distances ? Aux États-Unis, toujours, le couple Clinton a été entendu vendredi (27 février 2026) à huis-clos, et sous serment, par une commission de la Chambre des représentants sur ses liens avec le milliardaire pédocriminel. Les vidéos de ces auditions ont été rendues publiques hier (2 mars). Deux vidéos de chacune un peu plus de quatre heures et demie, et dont la presse propose un condensé. C'est le cas de Politico, qui liste les plus grandes révélations de ces dépositions. C'est du moins comme ça qu'il le titre. On y apprend notamment comment l'ex-président a rencontré Epstein – c'était en 2001 ou 2002, à bord de l'avion du financier. On y lit aussi que Bill Clinton ne savait rien des activités sexuelles de l'entourage d'Epstein. Les femmes qu'il a croisées dans le jet du milliardaire ? Il pensait qu'il s'agissait simplement d'hôtesses de l'air.   À Cuba, Granma frappé par la crise À Cuba, Granma, le journal officiel, ne paraîtra désormais qu'une fois par semaine. Dernier symptôme d'un pays au bord de l'asphyxie. « L'agonie de Granma, porte-voix d'un régime acculé par la crise », titre ainsi 14ymedio. « Avec ses quelques pages et ses titres triomphalistes, écrit le site d'information, le principal média de propagande du régime cubain est la victime la plus récente de la crise énergétique qui frappe l'île. Mais sa coupure, plus qu'une perte d'informations, est le signe de la fin d'un modèle d'endoctrinement », poursuit 14ymedio qui nous conduit dans un pays où les journaux servent de couvertures aux sans-abris, et où les étudiants en journalisme sont privés de cours à cause des coupures de courant. Sur le site d'El Estornudo, enfin, vous lirez le portrait de celui avec qui Washington pourrait bien négocier l'avenir du régime cubain. Il s'appelle Raul Guillermo Rodriguez Castro. Mais en raison d'une malformation à la main, on le surnomme « le Crabe ». C'est le petit-fils de l'ex-président Raul Castro. Son préféré. Et c'est celui sur qui le secrétaire d'État états-unien Marco Rubio aurait jeté son dévolu. « L'avenir de Cuba entre les pinces du Crabe », c'est donc à lire sur le site d'El Estornudo.   Haïti face aux défis climatiques En Haïti, le ministre de l'Intérieur et des Collectivités territoriales veut des « réponses structurées » pour renforcer la prévention face aux défis climatiques. « Les autorités insistent sur le rôle des collectivités territoriales dans le contrôle de l'urbanisation, la protection des zones à risques et la sensibilisation des communautés, tout en appelant au renforcement des équipements, de la formation et des systèmes d'alerte. Des engagements récurrents mais qui peinent à se concrétiser alors que les inondations meurtrières la semaine dernière dans le nord rappellent l'urgence d'agir », remarque Gotson Pierre, directeur d'Alterpresse. Sur Alterpresse, le Regroupement des Haïtiens de Montréal contre l'Occupation d'Haïti estime, dans une tribune, que depuis que le pouvoir a été transmis uniquement à Alix Didier Fils-Aimé, la police a changé d'attitude et qu'elle interviendrait moins efficacement sur le terrain. Il dénonce une instrumentalisation de la violence à des fins politiques. « Delmas connaît depuis le début de l'année une recrudescence des enlèvements, y compris impliquant des policiers », relève Gotson Pierre. C'est un événement très important pour les peuples indigènes de Méso-Amérique : les dix ans de l'assassinat, au Honduras, de la militante environnementale indigène Berta Caceres. Des rassemblements sont prévus toute la semaine, dans les communautés indigènes du Guatemala, de Salvador, du Costa Rica ou encore du Mexique pour rendre hommage à cette militante indigène hondurienne, lauréate du prix Goldman pour l'environnement. Berta Cáceresa a été assassinée par balle, dans la nuit du 2 au 3 mars 2016, dans sa maison. Elle était à la tête d'un mouvement qui s'opposait à la construction de plusieurs barrages hydroélectriques sur les fleuves du centre du Honduras. Dix ans après sa mort, elle incarne toujours cette lutte : celle pour la défense des terres, des rivières face à l'extraction intensive des ressources naturelles. Un dossier de notre correspondante à Tegucigalpa, Marie Griffon.

Every year, the Multnomah County Library chooses one book they hope the whole city will read. Between January and April, the Library, and their partner organizations, host events based around the themes of the book, and they distribute thousands of free copies—thanks to the Library Foundation—to readers of all ages from across the county. At Literary Arts, our role is to bring the author to town for a talk in the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall. The 2025 Everybody Reads book was the memoir Solito by Javier Zamora. Written from the perspective of his nine-year-old self, Solito is a gripping and beautiful account of Zamora's three-thousand-mile journey from a small village in El Salvador to his new home in United States. Epic in scope and intimate in detail, it's a book about the family one comes from, the family one longs for, and the family one makes. Zamora conjures all the wonder, fear and imaginative capacity of his young self; clear-eyed in his depictions of cruelty and danger, insistent on recognizing kindness. He also renders his journey with vivid detail with breathtaking lyricism, paying close attention to the power of language – this comes as no surprise, given that Zamora is also an award-winning poet. The writer Sandra Cisneros said, “I have waited decades for a memoir like Solito.” But, Solito isn't simply a story of a migrant's harrowing journey, it's the story of a writer becoming a writer. It is also one of the most important American stories of our time. “Poetry and history were the first tools I had to begin to explain my life so far away from the land that watched me be born and grow up for the first nine years of my life.” Javier Zamora was born in La Herradura, El Salvador in 1990. When he was a year old, his father fled El Salvador due to the US-funded Salvadoran Civil War (1980-1992). His mother followed her husband's footsteps in 1995 when Javier was about to turn five. Zamora was left at the care of his grandparents who helped raise him until he migrated to the US when he was nine. His first poetry collection, Unaccompanied, explores some of these themes. In his debut New York Times bestselling memoir, SOLITO, Javier retells his nine-week odyssey across Guatemala, Mexico, and eventually through the Sonoran Desert. He travelled unaccompanied by boat, bus, and foot. After a coyote abandoned his group in Oaxaca, Javier managed to make it to Arizona with the aid of other migrants. Zamora is the winner of a 2024 Whiting Fellowship and the 2022 LA Times-Christopher Isherwood Prize. He holds fellowships from CantoMundo, Colgate University (Olive B. O’Connor), MacDowell, Macondo, the National Endowment for the Arts, Poetry Foundation (Ruth Lilly), Stanford University (Stegner), and Yaddo. He is the recipient of a 2018-2019 Radcliffe Fellowship at Harvard University, a 2017 Lannan Literary Fellowship, the 2017 Narrative Prize, the 2016 Barnes & Noble Writer for Writers Award for his work in the Undocupoets Campaign.

Ephesians 3: The Church Is God's Plan - Step In, Not Out Journey Church shares announcements about a community-wide Easter egg hunt on March 21, candy donations, and an online merch store, then continues its Ephesians series in chapter 3. Jeremy recounts a Guatemala trip where Journey and Church of the Crossroads were recognized for five years of partnership in El La Paro, and shares stories that highlight gratitude and how small acts can have big impact. He explains Paul's “mystery” as what was hidden and now revealed: outsiders are brought near, divisions removed, and everyone invited in through Jesus. Writing from prison, Paul shows God works through weakness, and teaches that God's intent is to display His wisdom through the church. The message challenges treating church as optional and calls people to be present, pursue connection, use gifts, be a bridge, and strengthen inner life through Christ. 00:00 Welcome and Updates 00:17 Community Easter Egg Hunt 01:15 Journey Merch Store 02:18 Ephesians Series Setup 02:55 Guatemala Partnership 04:08 Cold Shower Gratitude 06:07 Soccer Culture Surprise 07:36 Vision Clinic Impact 09:28 Small Moments Big Story 13:08 Mystery of Inclusion 16:56 Tearing Down Dividing Walls 20:25 Paul Writes From Prison 21:25 Purpose in Prison 23:44 Church Displays Wisdom 24:54 Church Failures and Design 27:37 Praying for Inner Strength 29:55 Rooted in Love 32:44 Church Is Essential 33:51 Five Ways to Engage 37:47 One Church Among Many 38:50 Paul's Prayer Revisited 41:28 Step In Together 43:20 Closing Prayer

En este episodio, el abogado Jonathan Shaw aclara la confusión sobre dos listas de restricciones por país que están afectando procesos de inmigración: la lista de 39 países (con pausas y restricciones más amplias) y la lista de 75 países (enfocada principalmente en visas inmigrantes desde el consulado). Explica cómo estas medidas pueden impactar tanto a personas dentro de EE.

Super Bowl Talk, Halftime Controversy, Saudi Entertainment, and a Guatemala Mission Recap The hosts joke about who would play them in a biopic, then recap the Super Bowl as a boring game with disappointing, AI-heavy commercials and debate the halftime show featuring Bad Bunny versus a Turning Point/TBN alternative that included Kid Rock and Brantley Gilbert, arguing the backlash was more cultural than moral and fueled by social-media rage. They discuss the NFL's business motives and global expansion, then shift to Saudi Arabia's spending on American entertainment through events like the Riyadh Comedy Festival and LIV Golf, including criticism of "PR washing." They touch on U.S. beating Canada in Olympic hockey, a curling cheating clip, and odd sports they've seen on streaming TV. Jeremy then summarizes a Guatemala trip delivering backpacks, bowls and cups, running a vision clinic, cultural tours in Antigua, meeting sponsored children, and encouraging sponsors to visit; Penny also recaps taking kids to CIY Superstar. 00:00 Biopic Casting Game 00:48 Jeremy Lookalikes Debate 01:36 Will Ferrell Vibes 02:51 Celebrity Lookalike Apps 05:07 Super Bowl Recap 06:31 Commercials Letdown 08:51 Halftime Show Takes 09:36 Bad Bunny Strategy 11:35 Turning Point Controversy 23:37 Rage Sells Online 25:41 Alternative Show Flop 28:51 Spectacle And Outrage 29:25 Bad Bunny And Wrestling 30:52 SNL Then And Now 31:29 Saudi Entertainment Money 40:21 Olympic Hockey Talk 42:55 Curling Cheating Drama 46:47 Weird Sports And Olympics 50:09 Guatemala Mission Recap 54:50 Why You Should Go 58:07 CIY Weekend And Wrap

En este episodio, Xavier Soria conversa con Eduardo Herrera Rubio sobre astronomía, formación científica en Guatemala y el papel que juega la inteligencia artificial en la búsqueda y análisis de planetas.Hablamos de cómo funciona realmente la investigación en astrofísica, qué hacen los telescopios más allá de las fotos bonitas, cómo se trabaja con datos y modelos matemáticos, y por qué la ciencia no es un lujo académico sino una herramienta para entender la realidad con evidencia.También discutimos el rol de la universidad pública, el pensamiento crítico y qué significa vivir en un país que invierte poco en ciencia. Una conversación para preguntarnos algo más profundo:¿qué pasa cuando una sociedad deja de pensar científicamente?

Antes de talar árboles, demoler una casa o levantar un edificio, casi todo pasa por un mismo filtro: el Ministerio de Ambiente y Recursos Naturales (MARN). Pero, ¿qué tan bien están funcionando los estudios de impacto ambiental en Guatemala?En este episodio, Marjorie conversa con Marisol, ingeniera ambiental y cofundadora de un colectivo vecinal, sobre cómo se tramitan los estudios, cómo se “categorizan” los proyectos (A, B1, B2, C, CR) y por qué muchos vecinos sienten que el sistema está diseñado para informar tarde, escuchar poco y corregir a favor del proyecto.Además, escuchamos testimonios de vecinos de zona 16, zona 10 (Colonia Concepción) y El Zapote (zona 2), quienes señalan prácticas recurrentes: fragmentación de proyectos, falta de evaluación de impactos acumulativos, copy-paste en expedientes, participación pública débil y un plazo de 20 días para oponerse a documentos de cientos de páginas.Cerramos con recomendaciones prácticas: cómo buscar edictos, pedir información pública y organizarse como vecinos; y abrimos preguntas incómodas:¿qué cambiaría si el plazo fuera mayor? ¿y si hubiera rótulos físicos obligatorios en el lugar del proyecto?

Archivos desclasificados en Estados Unidos vuelven a poner bajo la lupa una presunta red de abusos sexuales a menores y pornografía infantil con víctimas centroamericanas. En Honduras, autoridades y organizaciones civiles esperan que las revelaciones vinculadas al caso Epstein permitan esclarecer los hechos. La periodista de RFI Celia Pousset entrevistó en ese país a Dunia Orellana, de Reportar Sin Miedo, y al defensor de los Derechos de la Niñez, Wilmer Vásquez.  En 2019, un agente del FBI afirmó haber localizado en una bóveda en México unos 10.000 videos de pornografía infantil con menores de Guatemala, Honduras y México. El hallazgo se habría producido gracias a un informante vinculado al caso Epstein. Sin embargo, la denuncia no prosperó. Tras las recientes revelaciones en Estados Unidos sobre el pedocriminal, autoridades y ONG hondureñas se han movilizado. El informante del FBI, Kenneth Turner, sería la única persona que afirma haber visto físicamente los 10.000 videos. El material nunca fue incautado ni difundido públicamente. Pero Dunia Orellana, integrante de Reportar Sin Miedo, tuvo acceso a archivos vinculados a esas revelaciones, las cuales se remontan a 2019 y fueron desclasificados por el Departamento de Justicia de Estados Unidos. Entre los documentos figuran correos electrónicos, testimonios y reportes del FBI. En algunos de esos documentos desclasificados se menciona a un exembajador, Anthony Wayne, señalado por haber embarazado a una niña de once años en una propiedad del consulado de Estados Unidos en Ciudad Juárez. Los archivos también apuntan a la explotación y abuso de miles de niñas centroamericanas en el marco de una red transnacional de trata de menores. Desde una oficina en San Pedro Sula, Dunia Orellana pasó días revisando los archivos publicados por el Departamento de Justicia. Según explica, encontró 164 menciones a Honduras, además de varios reportes alarmantes. Miles de videos de abusos a menores y pornografía infantil  "En esos documentos figura uno de los correos del informante del FBI en el que habla de 10.000 videos de niñas de Guatemala, Honduras y México, posiblemente también de otros países de Sudamérica, todas ellas víctimas de trata de menores. Dice que hay imágenes literalmente de pornografía infantil en las que se muestran diferentes tipos de abusos. Jeffrey Epstein habría contratado a alguien para que obtuviera esas imágenes", explica Orellana. Wilmer Vásquez, director de la Red de Instituciones por la Niñez y Adolescencia, no se muestra sorprendido por estas revelaciones. "Quienes hemos trabajado el tema de la pornografía infantil no podemos pensar que se trate de una conspiración. Estamos ante hechos reales. Esto es un negocio. Cuando se trata de dinero y poder, se recurre a lo que sea necesario. Estamos hablando de adolescentes y jóvenes de los que no existe ningún registro. ¿Dónde están? ¿Con quién están? No lo sabemos", afirma Vásquez. Migrantes o no, secuestradas o explotadas, aún no se sabe cómo estos menores terminaron apareciendo en los videos. "Es probable que muchos de los videos hayan sido grabados en Honduras. Estamos hablando de una estructura criminal transnacional, de redes que operan en distintos países. No descartamos que muchas de estas niñas, niños y adolescentes hayan sido secuestrados con estos fines y aparezcan en esos materiales. Esta problemática la enfrentamos desde hace décadas. Uno de los principales riesgos para las personas migrantes es precisamente ese: ser secuestradas para la esclavitud laboral o la explotación sexual comercial, incluida la pornografía", subraya. Dunia Orellana asegura que continuará publicando investigaciones a partir de los archivos Epstein. El objetivo, dice, es no dejar en el olvido a las víctimas anónimas detrás de estos hallazgos. "Cuando te das cuenta de que en tu país utilizaron a muchas niñas para producir estos videos y que pudieron haber sido víctimas directas, sentís mucha pena, pero también mucha rabia", concluye. En 2025, el Ministerio Público hondureño registró 74 casos de trata en la modalidad de pornografía infantil.

In the second episode of our Latino Forestry Workforce series, guest host Gaby Eseverri speaks with Manuel Machado, who is the Natural Resource Workforce Program Coordinator for the Oregon State University Extension Program. This episode was made possible with support from Rivershed SPC, and we are immensely grateful for their help in making this series happen.  Manuel works with community-based organizations across the Pacific Northwest to develop bilingual learner-centric educational materials for H-2B and immigrant forestry sector workers, while developing programming that raises awareness of the labor-intensive forest workforce. His work aims to make this work safer and more equitable, particularly through engagement with the Latine forestry workforce in Oregon. Gaby Eseverri is a journalist based in Missoula, Montana, and originally from Miami. In addition to print journalism, she also helps produce Glacier National Park's Headwaters Podcast, which we highly recommend you check out.  In this episode, Gaby and Manuel spoke about the Latine forestry workforce in the Pacific Northwest, including the workforce's history, how H-2B and immigrant status contributes to a culture of exploitation rooted in a fear of deportation, as well as the nature of forestry and fire work. Gaby and Manuel also discuss the physical, economic and systemic risks faced by this workforce, and how the model and increasing demand for forest resilience work—which includes post-fire restoration, thinning/wildfire risk reduction, and other essential forestry tasks—relies heavily on often underpaid and easily-exploited H-2B and immigrant workers.  Please note that we will be releasing a third and final episode on this topic in a few days. This final episode—also hosted by Gaby with guest Manuel— will be published in Spanish, and will focus more on the resources, training and educational materials Manuel has created and made available for the Latine workforce on Oregon and beyond.  Another note: This episode was recorded in November 2025, just a few months after the incident in Washington State when two wildland firefighters were detained by Border Patrol on an active wildfire. More information about this incident can be found at the links below.  https://utahnewsdispatch.com/2025/08/30/immigration-raid-at-washington-blaze-stokes-fear-in-wildfire-crews-nationwide/ https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/federal-agents-arrest-fire-crew-members-washington-wildfire-rcna227797   A few highlights from the conversation (full transcript can be found here):  "So a lot of the work that the Latine workforce is involved in what land management agencies refer to as forestry services. So this includes everything from planting work, hazardous fuels reduction work, tree thinning, forest restoration, pesticide application. Also, increasingly they're doing more work in fire suppression. So working on the fire line, much of that labor intensive work." "Many of these contractors are based in Southern Oregon, and although they're based here in Medford, in the Rogue Valley, and they travel all over the Pacific Northwest and the US, the workers themselves are brought primarily from Mexico and increasingly from Guatemala and Central America as h-2b visa workers. So the amount of h-2b visa workers is increasing." "The way the forest service handles contracting often awards the lowest bidder, and although this does ensure a lower price per acre, often means that the workers don't get paid as much as I believe they deserve." "With undocumented workers, you know there's that added layer of vulnerability, because they face deportation, and although they can change employers because they have specified documents which allow them that flexibility to change employers, if the employer, at any time, finds out that they are documented, they face that added risk of using that as a threat against them. Given the policies that we're seeing, there's likely to be an increase in labor violations and just less enforcement due to these policies we're seeing under the Trump administration." "It's really just an entire system that's turned on them at a time when I think their work so important, right? They are literally the ones planting trees after fire, or the ones who are fighting fire, the ones who are implementing those treatments that reduce fire risk and restore our forests." "I think a good example (of something actionable) could be for firefighters. We often hear them advocating for better pay and working conditions…but it's important for them to understand that, you know, if an increasing portion of the firefighting workforce is reliant on h-2b visa workers that don't have the same rights, well, then what can they do to build solidarity with those H-2b visa workers? A rising tide will lift all boats, so they have to really consider all of these different segments of the workforce if they want to be more effective at actively bargaining for those working conditions and better pay." "So I always ask the workers themselves, what's something that you would like the general public or policymakers or decision makers to know? What would you tell them, if you had the opportunity to speak with them? The most common responses that I've gotten is that they just want more for the important work that they do." 

P. Federico (Guatemala)Jesús nos anima a buscar, pedir, llamar. Hazlo, aunque a veces te sientas sin méritos. Y, si te costara hacerlo, ahí tiene a tu Madre para pedírselo a través de ella.[Ver Meditación Escrita] https://www.hablarconjesus.com/meditacion_escrita/pideselo-a-tu-papa-padre/

1) Multitud: Mira, en Guatemala estuve con un perro, llamado Canelo, que me hizo pensar. Dicen que un año nuestro equivale a 7 años de un perro. Tomé este concepto y me dije cuánto tengo que aprender de esto. Porque uno piensa “Pobre animal que solo vivirá veinte años”, pero creo que el animal piensa “Pobre ser humano, que necesita 80 años para vivir una vida, porque no es capaz de vivirla en 20 años”. Porque si uno quita las 9 horas que pasas trabajando en algo que no te agrada, quitas los días que haces cosas que no querés y estás con personas que no quieres. Y si sumas solamente los momentos libres que te gusta estar solo y estar bien, y las vacaciones, que capaz las disfrutas, llegamos a la suma de que vives menos de lo que vive un perro. El perro duerme cuando quiere y come cuando quiere, le ladra a la luna, la contempla, disfruta de su vida y su vida es intensa. Aparece una persona, va y la corre, y al rato lo vuelve a hacer. En fin, cuando vemos la creación valoramos al creador, pero comprendí que muchos no valoramos el tiempo por querer saciar a la multitud.2) Ninivitas: Hay veces que las cosas no salen como queremos. También sabemos que la vida a veces no es justa, pero ya es tiempo de dejar de torturarse y dejar de decir: “No me salió por culpa de este o de aquel o de aquello”. Mira, la vida a mí me costó un montón, porque la vida cuesta, como seguro te ha costado a vos. Pasé años que sufrí muchísimo, amigos que ya no son amigos. Cuando tomé distancia del sacerdocio hubo gente que me dejó de hablar, incluso gente que me bloqueó del celular. Incluso hubo días que no tenía ni siquiera para comer o supe de gente cercana que me traicionó, que me difamó. Pero bueno, aquí estamos, ¡ya está! Lo diste todo. Lo que pasó, pasó. A lavarse la cara y a buscar tu vida todos los días, porque hay que seguir. Hay que soltar y empezar de nuevo. Así que ¡adelante!.3) Juicio: “Si esperas un día perfecto para tirar la semilla, es posible que nunca veas el árbol”. Por eso, si necesitas certezas antes de moverte, ya elegiste no avanzar, porque la fe no es esperar que esté todo perfecto para actuar. La fe no es esperar que todo esté a tu favor para actuar, la fe es actuar y moverse. Es avanzar, aunque no tengas todavía garantías. Hoy pedí a Dios el don de la fe. Algo bueno está por venir.

Dr. Anshu Chandra, founder of the Global Eye Project, has dedicated her career to solving this crisis. Since 2015, her nonprofit has worked to provide free eye exams, advanced treatments, and a sustainable care model by training local staff.During today's episode, Anshu shared how her transformative journey began. After witnessing the dire conditions during a mission trip to India, she decided to focus her career on providing eye care to underserved communities. “I saw how much need there was for eye care and how rare it was for people to have access,” Anshu explained. This realization ultimately led her to Haiti, where the need for care was “so tremendous” she couldn't look away.In 2015, she moved to Haiti with two suitcases—one filled with personal items, the other with medical equipment. Partnering with a local hospital, she established a clinic that has grown into a vital resource for the entire country. The clinic has provided over 132,000 free eye exams and performed more than 7,000 advanced procedures, including laser treatments and surgeries.But the impact doesn't end there. Anshu's commitment to sustainability has led to the training of local staff, many of whom now run the clinic independently. “Some of my staff members are orphans, and they're now supporting their families and caring for their community,” she shared.The Global Eye Project is now raising $300,000 to build a new facility that will expand its services. The proposed clinic will include a surgical center and an optical lab, enabling the nonprofit to become more financially independent. It will also allow the team to continue offering free consultations to ensure no one is turned away.By addressing a critical need with compassion and ingenuity, Anshu is not only restoring sight but also creating opportunities for individuals and communities to thrive. You can support this life-changing work by visiting GlobalEyeProject.org and contributing to their campaign.tl;dr:Dr. Anshu Chandra founded the Global Eye Project to combat preventable blindness in underserved communities.The nonprofit has provided over 132,000 free eye exams and 7,000 advanced treatments in Haiti.Anshu's sustainable model trains local staff to deliver care, empowering the community long-term.The Global Eye Project is raising $300,000 to build a new clinic with expanded capabilities.Anshu's journey highlights the power of thinking outside the box to solve pressing global challenges.How to Develop Thinking Outside the Box As a SuperpowerAnshu's superpower is her ability to think outside the box to solve complex challenges. Reflecting on her work, she explained, “I didn't see a reason why this couldn't happen. How hard could it be to go there, put up a clinic, and train locals?” Her innovative mindset enabled her to approach Haiti's eye care crisis creatively, building a sustainable model that trains locals to provide care independently.One of the most striking examples of Anshu's superpower is how she started her clinic in Haiti. Arriving with minimal resources, she trained local staff by having them practice on volunteers. Without advertising, word spread, and lines of patients formed. Over time, she transformed a rudimentary clinic with dirt floors into a well-equipped facility with 11 exam rooms, advanced diagnostic tools, and a sustainable care model.Tips for Developing the Superpower:Reframe obstacles as opportunities.Focus on the goal rather than the limitations.Start small but think big—break projects into manageable steps.Commit your time, energy, and resources to what you believe is possible.Build partnerships and accept help from others.By following Anshu's example and advice, you can make thinking outside the box a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileDr. Anshu Chandra (she/her):Founder, Global Eye ProjectAbout Global Eye Project: Founded in the United States, the Global Eye Project has grown to include volunteers and donors from all over the world. Together we are empowering local communities by building locally managed sustainable eye clinics through education initiatives and volunteer run professional training services to reduce the need for outside support. With your support, we will make eye care a right, not a privilege.Website: globaleyeproject.orgCompany Facebook Page: facebook.com/Global-Eye-Project-254480721322382Instagram Handle: @globaleyeprojectCompany Twitter Handle: @EyeCareForAllBiographical Information: Anshu has worked in Haiti for the last 15 years building and advancing eye care for the poor. She is working to end disparities in eye care globally by bringing this service to remote areas and giving them health equity. She's leading our efforts in Haiti and has built a permanent eye clinic in Fond-des-Blancs which provides client care and training for local residents. She's also collaborating with other institutions in Haiti providing care via mobile clinics to address the immediate need as well as working on more permanent solutions by helping to further develop the Haitian ophthalmology residency program in Port-au-Prince. This would provide advanced training and access to equipment and supplies so ALL Haitians can have high quality eye care.She holds a Doctor of Optometry degree and did her residency from SUNY College of Optometry in New York. She was raised in India and the USA where her mother worked as a social worker with under-served communities and created programs to strengthen various skills to make members more independent. These influences have given Anshu an understanding of the needs of disadvantaged populations as well as practical, simple solutions to address those needs. Anshu has also provided eye care to communities in Nepal, Haiti, Peru, Lebanon, Tanzania, Honduras, Guatemala, Dominican Republic, Mexico, Indonesia, and India.The Super Crowd, Inc., a public benefit corporation, is proud to have been named a finalist in the media category of the impact-focused, global Bold Awards.Support Our SponsorsOur generous sponsors make our work possible, serving impact investors, social entrepreneurs, community builders and diverse founders.

Click here to send me a quick message :) I'm sure every single one of us have experienced a craving for chocolate either during our premenstrual days or when we're bleeding. Our bodies crave chocolate with an innate knowing at different times of our cycle, really. Mine does at least!But today's guest, founder of Emerging Wisdom Cacao Samantha Veitch, shares a much deeper story on the ways cacao can support us through each phase of our cycle.And instead of just speaking to dark chocolate, she brings forward embodied wisdom around the more ritual and ceremonial nature of the cacao plant itself.Her experience with cacao began in Guatemala, where cacao holds a lineage of indigenous story and practice. And what's so interesting is that at exactly the same time cacao came into her, so did her awareness of the power of cyclical living. She shares her meandering organic journey of weaving drinking cacao and cyclical living together, becoming more and more deeply infused in both practices over time, and then learning ways to incorporate cacao *into* cyclical living practice to enhance each phase of the menstrual cycle.It's a really fun and beautiful way to interact with our cycles.Resources:Today's shownotes: Grab links to Samantha's cacao blends + offeringsBook: 4 seasons in 4 weeks by Suzanne Mathis McQueenBook: The Fourth Trimester by Kimberly Ann JohnsonClosing tomorrow Feb 22nd: Natural Contraception the Herbal Way 2026Episode 156: The Universal Mother Principles with Christine EckIf you loved this episode, share it with a friend, or take a screenshot and share on social media and tag me @herbalwombwisdomAnd if you love this podcast, leave a rating & write a review!

The Weeping Woman - La Llorona | Paranormal Podcast This week, we explore the Weeping Woman - La Llorona, who wanders along rivers and lakes throughout Mexico, the American Southwest, and Latin America, forever crying out for her lost children with her signature wail of "Ay, mis hijos!" We trace the possible origins of this vengeful ghost back to the 1500s in Mexico City, examining connections to Aztec mythology including the Hungry Woman and the goddess Cihuacoatl, before diving into the most common version of the tale about a beautiful peasant woman named Maria who married a wealthy nobleman, had two children, but was ultimately abandoned for a younger woman—leading her to drown her children in a jealous rage and then take her own life in the same river. We discuss how La Llorona serves multiple purposes across different age groups: teaching young children not to misbehave or cry excessively, warning teenagers about staying out past curfew and the dangers of wandering at night, and representing deeper themes of regret, misogyny, and social pressure for adults. Then, we share four chilling real-life encounters including a Guatemalan family whose 3-year-old was found drenched in an outdoor sink with a mysterious woman figure, a Texas deputy who heard wailing near the Colorado River that would stop only when he shined his flashlight on the water, and an 11-year-old El Paso boy who woke at 4 AM to hear bloodcurdling screams of "Help, help, mis hijos" coming from a nearby ditch while all the neighborhood animals howled in response.
