Madrid, April 19 (EFE). (Camera: Jesús Bartolomé / Tato Pérez) .- Guatemala's President Alejandro Giammattei is calling on the United States and Mexico to open their markets to help end mass migration with “structural change” that tackles the root causes of the issue. SOUNDBITES IN SPANISH OF THE PRESIDENT OF GUATEMALA, ALEJANDRO GIAMMATTEI, FROM AN INTERVIEW WITH EFE.“Migration happens because people don’t have healthcare, education, security, housing, or work. People don’t go there to visit Mickey Mouse, they go because they have to meet their needs, which is why we have to address the structural cause of migration"."It has to be done structurally, we cannot continue the current rhythm with aid that has not served much use, that in the end does not reach the community, does not make them more productive, does not give them access to the markets".
Guatemala City, Apr 15 (EFE), (Camera: ESteban Biba) .- Central American children who migrate to the United States are "skin and bone" with high rates of malnutrition, warns the director of the Casa del Migrante in Guatemala City, the priest and Brazilian missionary Mauro Verzeletti.Translation: Malnutrition rates in Central America are extremely high. Here we have a doctor who does the entire reception protocol for people migrating, children have high rates of malnutrition. We are talking about children who are skin and bones, who are migrating in this condition. And this is terrible for the development of a child, a teenager who has nothing to eat in their own home. This context worsens directly because they do not have money to pay rent or to eat and we are having a large number of people mobilizing on the street. The new homeless people are going to be migrants.
Watermelons are a delicious part of summer, but one particular trait does tend to weigh down the summer snack - it's size. However, a small Central American fruit commonly called the cucamelon, which looks like a miniature watermelon, may offer a bite-sized alternative. The tiny fruit is now enjoying newfound popularity halfway across the world from its native Mexico - cucamelons are gaining traction in China. The tiny fruit is officially called the melothria scabra but goes by many names, including the mouse melon, pepquino, and cucamelon. It was domesticated in Central America before the arrival of the Spanish.
