Carrying out this meeting with migrants is assuming the accompaniment and attention to those who suffer the ordeal of forced displacement as a result of multiple forms of violence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The meeting with the migrants was achieved through the link with the Danl\u00ed Human Mobility Pastoral Ministry, who take <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">care of and accompany migrants and refugees in Honduras, a service they provide with the coordination of the Scalabrinian sisters.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It should be noted that the members of the parish have organized themselves to provide care in the shelter. Their experiences have been unique, and it has represented a real challenge for the community, integrating all the parish groups into teams for different\u00a0 tasks, including hygiene, care, food, and safety. This has been accomplished with the help of outside organizations that are collaborating with food.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><br style=\"font-weight: 400;\" \/><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/redfranciscana.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Fotos-pag-web-art_27.png&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Fotos pag web art_27&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; animation_style=&#8221;slide&#8221; animation_direction=&#8221;left&#8221; box_shadow_style=&#8221;preset1&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every day the &#8220;Jesus is Alive&#8221; Shelter receives many migrants of different nationalities. During the visit we met Cubans, Venezuelans, Haitians, Ecuadorians, Nicaraguans, and the day before some Pakistanis and Senegalese left the shelter.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Due to the migration law in Honduras, migrants have to complete the mandatory migration documentation process. Therefore, the government charges all people who cross the Central American nation irregularly for a safe passage card, so that they can continue their transit in order to reach the United States At $220 USD, this is one of the highest fees in Central America according to the testimonies of the migrants, so it directly affects them as they\u00a0 continue their journey.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are many migrants who cannot pay to leave the country and must stay for several months, until the migration institute gives the go-ahead to allow them to continue their journey. In other cases, the migrants decide to cross Honduras, knowing that they run the risk of having to pay bribes to officials or transport drivers so that they do not restrict their mobility. Otherwise\u00a0 they must look for alternative routes or areas where they can move undercover, which exposes them to more violence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During Holy Week from April 13 to 17, the government stipulated the exception of payment of the safe-conduct. With this the migrants benefited during this week, having to carry out the migratory process without the effect of the charge. As a RFM-Honduras team, we continue to be concerned that in the irregular situation of migrants. The collection is excessive, and without greater protection protocol for people who arrive in the country in a situation of vulnerability.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><br style=\"font-weight: 400;\" \/><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row use_custom_gutter=&#8221;on&#8221; gutter_width=&#8221;2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_video src=&#8221;https:\/\/youtu.be\/6768KxdNI18&#8243; image_src=&#8221;\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/6768KxdNI18\/hqdefault.jpg&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_video][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row use_custom_gutter=&#8221;on&#8221; gutter_width=&#8221;1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_gallery gallery_ids=&#8221;6114,6116,6118,6120,6122,6124,6126&#8243; show_title_and_caption=&#8221;off&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; border_width_all=&#8221;1px&#8221; border_color_all=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_gallery][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.16.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: right;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">Hna Marcela Cundafe<br \/>Ana Victoria L\u00f3pez<\/span><\/strong><br \/>FNM &#8211; Team Honduras<\/h4>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Good Friday, April 15th, part of the team of the Franciscan Network for Migrants of Honduras mobilized to deliver 150 emergency kits for migrants in the &#8220;Jesus is alive&#8221; Shelter, belonging to the Parish-Cathedral of Danl\u00ed, El Para\u00edso.<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":6106,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":true,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_bbp_topic_count":0,"_bbp_reply_count":0,"_bbp_total_topic_count":0,"_bbp_total_reply_count":0,"_bbp_voice_count":0,"_bbp_anonymous_reply_count":0,"_bbp_topic_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_forum_subforum_count":0,"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[364,50,74,129],"class_list":["post-7508","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-franciscan-network-for-migrants","tag-migrants","tag-protect","tag-rfm-honduras-en"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/redfranciscana.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7508","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/redfranciscana.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/redfranciscana.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/redfranciscana.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/redfranciscana.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7508"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/redfranciscana.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7508\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7511,"href":"https:\/\/redfranciscana.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7508\/revisions\/7511"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/redfranciscana.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6106"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/redfranciscana.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7508"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/redfranciscana.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7508"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/redfranciscana.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7508"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
