  • Gregorio Raymundo Rodriguez reacts to the news that Congress lifted President Perez Molina's immunity from prosecution. Rodriguez was among the crowd of Guatemala City residents who spent the day chanting and protesting in front of the Congress building while Parliament members voted inside. Guatemalan Congress lifted President Perez Molina's immunity from prosecution amid graft scandal. That opens the road to prosecution of a president who is accused of presiding over a major corruption rig.  This move will have major consequences for Central America.

  • Corinne Joachim-Sanon and her team are caught in a major downpour that floods the outskirts of Cap Haitian and halts the traffic to a stop. Team members are crowded with freshly bought cocoa beans on the back of a pick-up truck as they are trying to make their way to the cocoa drying facility the same night. Beans must start drying within 24 hours of removal from the tree.  The road got flooded by 2 feet of water that night and the team ended up staying overnight in a hotel in Cap Haitian, adding to the cost of cocoa purchase.  Dramatic weather and underdeveloped infrastructure are some of the main challenges that  Corinne Joachim-Sanon faces as she us trying to scale up her operation. <br />
Corinne Joachim-Sanon had the doors open to jobs in major corporations in the United States.  She did an internship at L’Oreal, worked at Accenture and had an Industrial and Operations Engineering degree from the second best program in the country (Michigan Engineering). She added to that degree MBA from the Wharton School of Business.  <br />
 <br />
Ambitious, smart and focused, Corinne was set to quickly climb a corporate ladder.  But the Haitian native was nagged by a different kind of ambition. She wanted to run her own business. She wanted to put her industrial engineering knowledge into practice as an entrepreneur. This New York City resident wanted to design and build a factory. A factory and a distribution network for her products. A factory that would provide well paying jobs to people in her native Haiti.  Yes, Corinne wanted to make a profit as an entrepreneur, but she also wanted to help elevate the Haitian people’s economic conditions.<br />
 <br />
She and her husband invested $160,000 of their own money to start the company. They used a building owned by Corinne’s grandfather as a factory location.<br />
 <br />
Corinne did her research and decided to focus on chocolate since Haiti is known for providing specialty cacao for some of the best chocolate manufactures in the world. But rather than supp

  • A pit-bull mix dog barks at a stranger in a Delray neighborhood in Detroit. Pit bulls are common in the city; they are feared for their jaw strength and admired for intelligence.  Dogs are kept for protection from thieves and burglars although they don't always work, a nearby resident complained that burglars twice shot and killed his dogs when he was away from home.   Delray used to be a predominantly Hungarian and Polish neighborhood.  Now mainly blacks and Mexicans inhabit the remaining houses. It's one of the most polluted areas in Michigan due to high concentration of highly polluting industry that encroached on the residential area of Detroit in recent decades when many residents moved out and factories shut down. The dog barks on the porch of Walter, whose wife is Polish. Walter, 74, moved from Kentucky to Detroit in 1950s looking for work. Since then he moved back to Kentucky twice when work dried up in Detroit.  After his marriage in Kentucky fell apart, he moved for the last time back to Detroit in 1990.  Walter stayed put in the neighborhood despite the exodus of most of his Hungarian American and Polish American neighbors to the suburbs.  He is busy untangling a power cord for leaf mulching machine.    Monday, November 1, 2010.  Marcin Szczepanski

  Barra do Sao Lorenzo is one of the most remote communities in Pantanal, possible the largest wetlands in the world.  It takes local residents up to 30 hours on a small passenger and cattle boat to get to the near city of Corumba on the Brazilian and Bolivian border. The city is roughly 250 km of nothing but wetlands from the village. Local residents are mostly the decedents of Indians who had lived in the area for centuries.  In 1994 the community was forced out of their houses on a higher ground on the mountain side of the river after a local fazenda (farm) was turned into a private nature reserve. The international NGO Nature Conservancy bought 56,000 hectares of the land and left it under the leadership of Ecotropica in order to start the nature reserve.  Residents received serious threats and worried about their safety had to leave their houses paddling down the river in tiny wooden canoes in the beginning of the worst weather season here called Piracema where the mosquitos are so prevalent that it's hard to talk or eat without swallowing some. Some women ware pregnant and all residents had to survive without shelter in the season when the rain is almost constant and the temperatures are so high, it's hard to stay inside of the house at night. Residents were given notice as short as one day and some of the houses were burned after they left.  In the last decades several private nature reserves and a national park have been created in the area surrounding the village and local fishermen have been forbidden entry into and fishing in these areas. It dramatically limits  fishing and wood collection opportunities.  In the recent years, Brazilian NGO called ECOA has worked successfully with residents to help them grant access to and fishing rights to a small part of the reserve. Life here is very precarious as the water levels

<br />
Kebon Pala community in Kampung Melayu neighborhood of Jakarta lies on the banks of the Ciliwung River and is very prone to flooding. The process of Normalisasi” (turning the river into a concrete channel surrounded by walls) is threatening the eviction of houses nearest to the river here. <br />
