  • A woman sweeps the courtyard in front of the Dr. Miguel Sanchez health center in Guaimaca, Honduras.  The health care system in Honduras is in dire need as villagers are forced to either go to the healthcenter for a little money, but offers few services or go to the hospital which is a fully paid health facility and few can afford. Honduras is considered the third poorest country in the Western Hemisphere (Haiti, Nicaragua). With over 50% of the population living below the poverty line and 28% unemployed, Hondurans frequently turn to illegal immigration as a solution to their desperate situation. The Department of Homeland Security has noted an 95% increase in illegal immigrants coming from Honduras between 2000 and 2009, the largest increase of any country.

  • Gloria Diaz, 40 years old from Costa Rica. Lives on The Projects in the Lower East Side, New York. Suffers from asthma. <br />
Public housing in New York were built by NYCHA (New York City Housing Authority) using low cost materials and due to that, the houses get mold, infiltrations and other problems. Living with this environment leads to health diseases such as asthma and other respiratory allergies. As they are public houses, people wait for 2 years to get their houses fixed and as time goes by, the exposure to these fungus leads to an intolerant public health situation. The public houses  are scattered in the city: lower Manhatthan, harlem and the bronx. However, in the Bronx, the situation is a severe issue where the asthma death rate is one of the highest in the city. Living in these houses is living side by side with a "silent murder".

  • A mother carries her sick son by the pharmacy at the hospital in Guaimaca, Honduras.  The baptist hospital is pretty much empty because no one of the villagers can afford to get services from the hospital and opt instead to attend the health care center.  Eventhough its called a hospital the facility is devoid of even the most basic instumentation like oxygen.  Honduras is considered the third poorest country in the Western Hemisphere (Haiti, Nicaragua). With over 50% of the population living below the poverty line and 28% unemployed, Hondurans frequently turn to illegal immigration as a solution to their desperate situation. The Department of Homeland Security has noted an 95% increase in illegal immigrants coming from Honduras between 2000 and 2009, the largest increase of any country.
