Ronald de Hommel Colombia 2nd Place - Merit of Excellence "Central African Republic, the forgotten heart of Africa" Rebels have used a small school in Patcho in the centre of the country as their headquarters for a while. They decorated the walls with their graffiti. The building is now used as a school again but the community has no money to paint the walls. Right in the heart of Africa, surrounded by Chad, Sudan and the Democratic Republic of Congo is the Central African Republic (CAR). In line with its neighbours this country is ravaged by internal conflicts. Several rebel groups are engaged in a permanent war with the government. Army and militias have burnt down thousands of villages. The population fled into the bush where an estimated 100,000 still live. |

"Guerillas would pin them down and rape them publicly to humiliate the family. They would use pointed sticks, hoes, dirty objects. Many of them would die and never end up having a fistula repaired," the American doctor said. |

Josh Meltzer USA Nominee "Internal Migration" Migration within Mexico has perhaps had a larger impact on numbers of Mexicans than the better publicized story of immigration to the U.S. Just as America rapidly became urbanized in the early 20th century, Mexicans are moving from rural regions to large Mexican cities at increasing rates. Though much of what the cities have to offer – electricity, running water and education – are good, families often discover that moving to urban regions can be difficult and dangerous, especially for children. Antonio Hernandez carries his daughter Angela to her baptism ceremony through a broken fence on land outside of Guadalajara where they have been living rent free in partial exchange for making bricks. The family originates from the neighboring state of Zacatecas. |
