As \u003cem>The California Report's\u003c/em> Central Valley Bureau Chief based in Fresno for nearly a dozen years, Sasha brought the lives and concerns of rural Californians to listeners around the state. Her reporting helped expose the hidden price immigrant women janitors and farmworkers may pay to keep their jobs: sexual assault at work. It inspired two new California laws to protect them from sexual harassment. She was a key member of the reporting team for the Frontline film \u003cem>Rape on the Night Shift, \u003c/em>which was nominated for two national Emmys. Sasha has also won a national Edward R. Murrow and a national PRNDI award for investigative reporting, as well as multiple prizes from the Society for Professional Journalists. Sasha is a proud alum of the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism and Brown University and a member of the South Asian Journalists Association.",

His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

"content": "\u003cp>As a child, David Ayual Mayom had a lot of responsibility and autonomy. He grew up in what's now South Sudan and is a member of the Dinka tribe. People in his village subsisted on raising cattle and farming mostly grains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He'd spend half the year taking his family's cattle out to graze and find water with other boys his age. Sometimes they'd spend the night in what they call the bush -- the forest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He loved it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While out in the bush, the boys would play games and hunt. They honed their spearing skills, pursuing small gazelles or birds and then dividing up the meat. Mayom loved bringing the food home to his mother in their adobe house.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He remembered her praising him, saying, \"You're going to be a leader: You are strong, you are dominant.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His family and culture held up these values, but they were particularly relevant at the time. Mayom -- who is 39 now and lives in San Jose -- was raised in the 1980s, when what was then Sudan was in the midst of its second civil war.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For most of his childhood, Mayom's father was away from home fighting with the Sudan People's Liberation Army (SPLA) against the government's Sudanese Armed Forces.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mayom was largely sheltered from the civil war in his youth, until one day in 1987, when he would have to make a painful choice: stay at home with his mother and almost surely be killed, or set out on foot with thousands of other young boys in search of safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That day was the first Mayom could hear fighting in a nearby village.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The sound of the gun. We’re seeing the smoke, houses were being set on fire,\" David said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mayom was 8 years old and his brother was 10. They were preparing to take their cattle out when a group of soldiers approached them. They were from the SPLA, the army for which Mayom's father fought. The men wore camouflaged clothes and carried AK-47s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They definitely looked stressed and said that the enemy is coming. 'If you don’t come with us now, you will be killed,'\" Mayom recalled them saying.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Sudanese Armed Forces had a strategy of killing Dinka boys who they believed would later become rebel soldiers. Mayom said the government's army largely targeted boys between 6 and 14 years old.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mayom could hear women wailing in the nearby village, crying out for what he assumed were their young sons — already killed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>David and his brother knew they could be next and decided to leave with the SPLA soldiers, who said they would help them flee to safety. Before leaving their village, the brothers sped home to say goodbye to their mother.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"My mom said, 'OK.' There was no arguing because my mom already knew the situation,\" Mayom said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He hugged her tightly and quickly. He didn't know if he would ever see her again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"My mom did not want to let go,\" he said. \"My mom was shedding tears and looking down. She didn’t know what would happen to us, where we are being taken.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mayom and his brother were being taken to Ethiopia. They hurried out of their village on foot. Mayom had nothing but the yellow shorts he was wearing, and his brother carried a small backpack. They were two of about 5,000 young boys who would later become known as \u003ca href=\"https://www.rescue.org/article/lost-boys-sudan\">The Lost Boys of Sudan\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eventually, that number would swell to more than 20,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It was scary because you were going to an unknown place. And it started getting really tough from the beginning,\" Mayom said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The group walked longer distances than the boys had ever traveled with their cattle. They trekked in two parallel lines on a journey that would end up taking a month and a half.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Again and again, Mayom would have the same desire to go back home, but he didn’t know if that home still existed, or how his family back in the village was even doing. He wondered if they were alive. He wondered if \u003cem>he\u003c/em> would survive long enough to see them again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You start getting terrified like, am I going to die? Will we all die?\" David said. \"You start living hoping to see the next day.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The hardships mounted. There was no water and the group drank from muddy puddles. Sometimes they even drank their own urine. There was no food so they foraged in the forest. They faced hungry, wild animals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mayom says the younger boys like him were most likely to die. He thinks 15 percent of boys perished on just this part of their journey. He was determined not to be one of them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The only thing that kept us going is just when you see other boys,\" he said. \"You don’t feel like you’re going through this by yourself. You stay determined. 'If that guy can do it, why not me?'\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Finally, the group crossed the border into Ethiopia and found themselves in a forest. There were no tents, no homes and no international aid workers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It was a bush,\" David said. \"They told us: 'Now you need to make your shelter out of this place.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over time, that forest became a refugee camp where Mayom spent three years. When Ethiopia fell into its own civil strife, the refugees who'd gathered in the camp were kicked out. The group walked again, this time to a Kenyan refugee camp. The journey was longer, but this time they had support from the United Nations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As time passed, Mayom and his brother spent more years living as refugees than in their home village. He often wondered what happened to the rest of their family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When David was 17 years old, a rumor spread through the camp that new people had arrived from villages near where he grew up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I was excited,\" he said. \"I was hoping that my mom would be one of the people.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He searched among the camp newcomers. After a few months, he met a woman who said she knew his mother and could take him to her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He followed her until she disappeared into a thatch-roofed home. Moments later, his mother — wearing a colorful dress, her hair in braids — hurried out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"She came running. Then when she got close to me, she stood still,\" he recalled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mayom watched as his mother searched his features for traces of the 8-year-old boy she said goodbye to nearly a decade before, the boy she named Ayual, who took the name David in the camp.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The woman who brought Mayom to his mother told her that this young man was in fact her son.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Really?\" Mayom's mother asked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He replied, \"This is me, Ayual.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They embraced tightly, like they had years ago when Mayom and his brother fled their village.

He grew up in what's now South Sudan and is a member of the Dinka tribe. People in his village subsisted on raising cattle and farming mostly grains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He'd spend half the year taking his family's cattle out to graze and find water with other boys his age. Sometimes they'd spend the night in what they call the bush -- the forest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He loved it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While out in the bush, the boys would play games and hunt. They honed their spearing skills, pursuing small gazelles or birds and then dividing up the meat. Mayom loved bringing the food home to his mother in their adobe house.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He remembered her praising him, saying, \"You're going to be a leader: You are strong, you are dominant.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His family and culture held up these values, but they were particularly relevant at the time. Mayom -- who is 39 now and lives in San Jose -- was raised in the 1980s, when what was then Sudan was in the midst of its second civil war.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For most of his childhood, Mayom's father was away from home fighting with the Sudan People's Liberation Army (SPLA) against the government's Sudanese Armed Forces.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mayom was largely sheltered from the civil war in his youth, until one day in 1987, when he would have to make a painful choice: stay at home with his mother and almost surely be killed, or set out on foot with thousands of other young boys in search of safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That day was the first Mayom could hear fighting in a nearby village.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The sound of the gun. We’re seeing the smoke, houses were being set on fire,\" David said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mayom was 8 years old and his brother was 10. They were preparing to take their cattle out when a group of soldiers approached them. They were from the SPLA, the army for which Mayom's father fought. The men wore camouflaged clothes and carried AK-47s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They definitely looked stressed and said that the enemy is coming. 'If you don’t come with us now, you will be killed,'\" Mayom recalled them saying.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Sudanese Armed Forces had a strategy of killing Dinka boys who they believed would later become rebel soldiers. Mayom said the government's army largely targeted boys between 6 and 14 years old.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mayom could hear women wailing in the nearby village, crying out for what he assumed were their young sons — already killed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>David and his brother knew they could be next and decided to leave with the SPLA soldiers, who said they would help them flee to safety. Before leaving their village, the brothers sped home to say goodbye to their mother.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"My mom said, 'OK.' There was no arguing because my mom already knew the situation,\" Mayom said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He hugged her tightly and quickly. He didn't know if he would ever see her again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"My mom did not want to let go,\" he said. \"My mom was shedding tears and looking down. She didn’t know what would happen to us, where we are being taken.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mayom and his brother were being taken to Ethiopia. They hurried out of their village on foot. Mayom had nothing but the yellow shorts he was wearing, and his brother carried a small backpack. They were two of about 5,000 young boys who would later become known as \u003ca href=\"https://www.rescue.org/article/lost-boys-sudan\">The Lost Boys of Sudan\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eventually, that number would swell to more than 20,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It was scary because you were going to an unknown place. And it started getting really tough from the beginning,\" Mayom said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The group walked longer distances than the boys had ever traveled with their cattle. They trekked in two parallel lines on a journey that would end up taking a month and a half.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Again and again, Mayom would have the same desire to go back home, but he didn’t know if that home still existed, or how his family back in the village was even doing. He wondered if they were alive. He wondered if \u003cem>he\u003c/em> would survive long enough to see them again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You start getting terrified like, am I going to die? Will we all die?\" David said. \"You start living hoping to see the next day.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The hardships mounted. There was no water and the group drank from muddy puddles. Sometimes they even drank their own urine. There was no food so they foraged in the forest. They faced hungry, wild animals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mayom says the younger boys like him were most likely to die. He thinks 15 percent of boys perished on just this part of their journey. He was determined not to be one of them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The only thing that kept us going is just when you see other boys,\" he said. \"You don’t feel like you’re going through this by yourself. You stay determined. 'If that guy can do it, why not me?'\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Finally, the group crossed the border into Ethiopia and found themselves in a forest. There were no tents, no homes and no international aid workers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It was a bush,\" David said. \"They told us: 'Now you need to make your shelter out of this place.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over time, that forest became a refugee camp where Mayom spent three years. When Ethiopia fell into its own civil strife, the refugees who'd gathered in the camp were kicked out. The group walked again, this time to a Kenyan refugee camp. The journey was longer, but this time they had support from the United Nations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As time passed, Mayom and his brother spent more years living as refugees than in their home village. He often wondered what happened to the rest of their family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When David was 17 years old, a rumor spread through the camp that new people had arrived from villages near where he grew up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I was excited,\" he said. \"I was hoping that my mom would be one of the people.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He searched among the camp newcomers. After a few months, he met a woman who said she knew his mother and could take him to her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He followed her until she disappeared into a thatch-roofed home. Moments later, his mother — wearing a colorful dress, her hair in braids — hurried out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"She came running. Then when she got close to me, she stood still,\" he recalled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mayom watched as his mother searched his features for traces of the 8-year-old boy she said goodbye to nearly a decade before, the boy she named Ayual, who took the name David in the camp.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The woman who brought Mayom to his mother told her that this young man was in fact her son.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Really?\" Mayom's mother asked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He replied, \"This is me, Ayual.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They embraced tightly, like they had years ago when Mayom and his brother fled their village. Mayom's mother had tears in her eyes once again. Both Mayom and his brother, now 17 and 19, quickly moved in with their mother in the refugee camp.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It took time for me to get used to that moment of being together again,\" Mayom said. He was afraid it was all temporary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You feel that you have to maximize that opportunity,\" he said. \"Or maybe she will not be there the next day.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But she was.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11686075\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-11686075 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/IMG_9275-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"David Ayual Mayom (second from left) with his family in Kakuma Refugee Camp in Kenya in 2000.\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/IMG_9275-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/IMG_9275-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/IMG_9275-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/IMG_9275-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/IMG_9275-1920x1440.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/IMG_9275-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/IMG_9275-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/IMG_9275-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/IMG_9275-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/IMG_9275-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">David Ayual Mayom (second from left) with his family in Kakuma Refugee Camp in Kenya in 2000. \u003ccite>(Courtesy David Ayual Mayom)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Amazingly, Mayom's entire family ended up in the refugee camp together: Mayom, his brother, and their five younger siblings.

And it’s because the country made a decision to invest in border security, starting here in San Diego and El Paso, and we’ve systematically expanded it out.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back in mid-March, Scott briefed President Trump when \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2018/03/13/trumps-visit-draws-supporters-protesters-and-security/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">he visited the border to look at wall prototypes\u003c/a>.

So that’s actually a pretty inexpensive investment for a long period of time, whereas technology has a life cycle of about 18 months.

Instead, they slow down, and the passengers run and jump on board, throwing their luggage up to a young man who stays perched at the top, roped to a luggage rack.

Girls as young as four years old use concrete washboards to scrub the stains out of shirts, while women as old as 80 scoot to the side as men fill up jugs to take clean water to their homes.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>The Road to Champerico\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Huehuetenango is isolated from the rest of the country by high mountains and bad roads. To get a sense of life in the valley and the coast, I head toward the beach town of Champerico.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the high mountains, I see young indigenous children play soccer in front of small huts with clay roofs. Sometimes traffic stops for goat and sheep herders, who lead their animals to graze the deep green grass that grows on subvertical mountainsides.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Young people often stop traffic here by putting a rope up across the roadway. These roped roads are guerrilla tollways. Children swarm the car when the driver stops. To avoid the children, most drivers just go faster, forcing the kids to pull the rope off the road or watch it fly into the air when the car hits it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Garbage is piled in lots on the side of mountains or in the valleys. There are no garbage trucks and no landfills, so the locals either burn their trash or dump it on public property. Often the trash is sorted by item in these impromptu dumpsites. There are diaper-pile trash sites, where hundreds of used diapers have been thrown on the side of the road.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11683623/months-after-her-dad-was-deported-young-girl-still-alone-in-u-s-shelter\">Months After Her Dad Was Deported, Young Guatemalan Girl Still Alone in U.S. Shelter\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11683623/months-after-her-dad-was-deported-young-girl-still-alone-in-u-s-shelter\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/FilemonaMain-1180x681.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Eventually, the windy mountain road turns into a series of straight lines in various valleys and through a host of little hamlets and towns. While each population center is similarly anchored by both a church and municipal hall, there are differences in what the vendors on the side of the road sell to passers-by: bananas, coconuts, leather goods, water, colorful indigenous dresses, baskets, melons and so on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The traffic typically slows to a crawl in each town, offering creative vendors a captive audience to hawk their wares.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Traffic begins to move on the final 30 miles of our journey. The road connecting the town of Retalhuleu to Champerico is smooth and straight, an investment made during a time when Guatemalan officials hoped to turn the beach into a tourist destination. But located as it is south of Chiapas, Mexico -- one of the most drug-worn areas in the world -- Champerico has remained impoverished and crime-ridden.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Champerico\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>It was night when I checked into a local hotel a few blocks from the Pacific Ocean. For a large room with three beds, I pay the equivalent of $35. The rooms are without air conditioning, and it's 95 degrees. The woman looks surprised to see an American, and asks if I’m lost and how long I’ll be staying.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The hotel owner tells me to lock the car up at a nearby neighbor’s house. A man walks over and directs me to follow him to his home. I drive slowly behind him as he pedals his bike. A few blocks away, he opens a double-gated car park. I park the car and lock the doors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nearby, I can hear the crashing of ocean waves. I head toward them, but the man tells me not to head to the beach at night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s too dangerous,” he says, without clarifying what he’s talking about.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I ball up the sheets from the other bed, and hold them while I sleep, so they can soak up the sweat that’s pooling up on me, trapped by the ocean’s heat and humidity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The next morning, the driver's side door is unlocked. I check the rest of the car, and see that the fender has been removed and reattached overnight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I don’t ask the man about it and try to forget I noticed it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before I leave, I stop by the beach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There, a 10-year-old girl and her 6-year-old brother carry machetes, coconuts and straws in a big red bucket. I buy two coconuts from them, and sit on the beach. The siblings walk around trying to sell the rest of the coconuts. After being rebuffed by the vacationing Mexicans, I watch as brother and sister begin sword-fighting with the machetes, using the coconuts as bombs. Seven-foot waves crash behind them as they run on the black volcanic sand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After a few minutes, the two get bored and ask me to buy more coconuts. They plop down next to me, tired under the hot noon sun. We talk about what they want to be when they grow up. The girl tells me she wants to be a police officer. Her little brother says he wants to be a robber with the cartels.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’d catch you,” the girl tells him. “And put you in jail.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’d kill you,” the boy says, laughing, pointing his machete at her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The sister’s eyes get big with play anger, and she grabs her machete. The two start sword-fighting again, swinging machetes as they run down the beach.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Zona 10 is the nightlife district -- think dance halls, TGI Fridays and a few small casinos.

If they’re not deported but they return with money, with resources, they are seen as heroes. But if they’ve been deported, they’re treated as they did something very bad.

Sometimes traffic stops for goat and sheep herders, who lead their animals to graze the deep green grass that grows on subvertical mountainsides.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Young people often stop traffic here by putting a rope up across the roadway. These roped roads are guerrilla tollways. Children swarm the car when the driver stops. To avoid the children, most drivers just go faster, forcing the kids to pull the rope off the road or watch it fly into the air when the car hits it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Garbage is piled in lots on the side of mountains or in the valleys. There are no garbage trucks and no landfills, so the locals either burn their trash or dump it on public property. Often the trash is sorted by item in these impromptu dumpsites. There are diaper-pile trash sites, where hundreds of used diapers have been thrown on the side of the road.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11683623/months-after-her-dad-was-deported-young-girl-still-alone-in-u-s-shelter\">Months After Her Dad Was Deported, Young Guatemalan Girl Still Alone in U.S. Shelter\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11683623/months-after-her-dad-was-deported-young-girl-still-alone-in-u-s-shelter\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/FilemonaMain-1180x681.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Eventually, the windy mountain road turns into a series of straight lines in various valleys and through a host of little hamlets and towns. While each population center is similarly anchored by both a church and municipal hall, there are differences in what the vendors on the side of the road sell to passers-by: bananas, coconuts, leather goods, water, colorful indigenous dresses, baskets, melons and so on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The traffic typically slows to a crawl in each town, offering creative vendors a captive audience to hawk their wares.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Traffic begins to move on the final 30 miles of our journey. The road connecting the town of Retalhuleu to Champerico is smooth and straight, an investment made during a time when Guatemalan officials hoped to turn the beach into a tourist destination. But located as it is south of Chiapas, Mexico -- one of the most drug-worn areas in the world -- Champerico has remained impoverished and crime-ridden.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Champerico\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>It was night when I checked into a local hotel a few blocks from the Pacific Ocean. For a large room with three beds, I pay the equivalent of $35. The rooms are without air conditioning, and it's 95 degrees.

A man walks over and directs me to follow him to his home. I drive slowly behind him as he pedals his bike. A few blocks away, he opens a double-gated car park. I park the car and lock the doors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nearby, I can hear the crashing of ocean waves. I head toward them, but the man tells me not to head to the beach at night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s too dangerous,” he says, without clarifying what he’s talking about.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I ball up the sheets from the other bed, and hold them while I sleep, so they can soak up the sweat that’s pooling up on me, trapped by the ocean’s heat and humidity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The next morning, the driver's side door is unlocked. I check the rest of the car, and see that the fender has been removed and reattached overnight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I don’t ask the man about it and try to forget I noticed it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before I leave, I stop by the beach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There, a 10-year-old girl and her 6-year-old brother carry machetes, coconuts and straws in a big red bucket. I buy two coconuts from them, and sit on the beach. The siblings walk around trying to sell the rest of the coconuts. After being rebuffed by the vacationing Mexicans, I watch as brother and sister begin sword-fighting with the machetes, using the coconuts as bombs. Seven-foot waves crash behind them as they run on the black volcanic sand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After a few minutes, the two get bored and ask me to buy more coconuts. They plop down next to me, tired under the hot noon sun. We talk about what they want to be when they grow up. The girl tells me she wants to be a police officer. Her little brother says he wants to be a robber with the cartels.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’d catch you,” the girl tells him. “And put you in jail.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’d kill you,” the boy says, laughing, pointing his machete at her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
