The family is relieved to be reunited. But now im so happy i missed them so much. Its very emotional after such a long time we havent seen each other for four months i miss them terribly. The north brazilian city of boa vista is a main contact point for the refugees every day hundreds arrive the city can barely cope with the influx the brazilian government has started resettling refugees in other cities across the country. The new arrivals can be seen everywhere trying to sell something or looking for work that usually isnt there still the conditions here are nowhere near as bad as those in venezuela. But you cant even get a diaper there and when you can you cant afford it you cant get milk feel baby either. Boy of his step is buckling under the pressure and needs help. The u. N.

And for the time being they have somewhere to stay and some medical assistance. But the prospects of finding work in northern brazil are slim but that really set our people so far i havent found anything no way to make money yes i mean if i do anything meaning anything im ready and i can learn anything.

Ok susan his family have had more luck we find them here basis has found a job in a small workshop and the owner prevented has. Right it has to send his family with the room right next to the workshop. The opportunity is a new beginning for jenny hey suits and their children. That right now its all about getting a foothold here and getting the kids into school we just want stability a normal life. Fresh hope for the family here in brazil. The romeros cant say whether they will ever return to venezuela for now they see little chance the situation back home will improve. Natural disasters are another reason many people are forced to operate in two thousand and sixteen alone all over the globe catastrophes forced twenty three point five million from their homes. In the pacific the nation of care about has a population of around one hundred fifty thousand but many of its islands are gradually sinking into the sea making the future uncertain the encroaching sea water is also salting up groundwater sources threatening staple crops many families are in a precarious situation. Its the first roll call of the day at the Marine Training center for sailors on the island at six am before breakfast the m. T. C. Trainees to thirty minutes of exercise. The center has been around for more than half a century it was cofounded by a German Shipping Company today its run by the kiribati government. Im in training here because id like to work on the high seas. And i want to earn money to support my family. Im interested in japan to see what its like there and how they teach on the face of the. So. Ruby hour is in the first row but as with all the trainees here hes just a number still many of the candidates are excited about their future few have ever sailed beyond the horizon. This man says the training here will equip him to work on any kind of fishing boat it doesnt matter whether its a troll or gun or a vessel that fishes longline we ask if hes been to one of the country before no he says. This man says hes looking forward to working on a german ship later on. He says it might be a cargo ship or some other vessel he doesnt really mind. Most of the trainees here want to one day work for the s. P. And s. Or South Pacific Marine Service its a german joint enterprise involving six Different Companies which all take candidates that have finished the training. The director of s. B. M. s is captain Andrew Heinsohn he says all the young men here have grown up with the ocean which is something the shipping industry values but in his experience another factor often stands in the way of better paid positions at sea. Its called a ball believe in statistic discipline is the main problem and also trying to explain time and clocks to the mariners in europe or in maritime navigation and we have totally different times and totally different temporal rhythms and we have to try to teach this to the trainees who want to be sailors and parts of going. After six months of training ruby hour or f. Eleven will be qualified to work on the deck of a chuen a troll or eighteen months of study is required to work on the bridge but thats too long for f. Eleven even though hes only in his early twentys he will soon have to provide for three generations of his family working on a vessel will mean long periods away from home. And it will be very sound to no longer see my family. But this school is the opportunity to save my parents its the only way i can help myself and others a larger one. Now that Climate Change is threatening traditional livelihoods the potential income has never been more important the n. P. C. Training is rigorous with a strong emphasis on discipline sunday is the only day off. Each week ruby our lives the school on the hour long boat ride to his home village on the ocean side waves are eroding the islands foundation only the shore of the lagoon remains intact. And c. T. Trainers drop him off. The family subsists on what nature provides the government buys up copra or dried coconut meat that yields have been sinking year after year. Rising water temperatures and sea levels also have an effect on marine life now when rubio is father goes fishing he often only brings home seaweed. Everything is changing were catching fewer a fish regardless of which car and other sea life is also disappearing and on land we have erosion water from the well is growing salty and the coconut palms produce very few coconuts nowadays. Armored worried whats happening here because of Climate Change when im not around im afraid everything will change and a cute dog. Kiribati its one of the poorest countries in the world and Climate Change is making it even poorer. Will soon have what others dont a job so that he can support his family but hes paying a high price to have what. This week in global ideas we had to southwest in uganda today in the congo river. The once beautiful waterway has been a dumping ground for sewage and waste and the rich vegetation along its banks has been destroyed but things are starting to change a reporter. Headed to the small town of fort. He met people determined to revive that. There wasnt always as much rubbish and then around the pongo river thats what locals say but the problem has become worse and worse the garbage now blocks the flow of the river and pollutes the water. To clean it up these days everyone pitches in with locals from fort portal and western uganda coming together once a month to collect garbage as head of a local Conservation Group guns e successfully raised awareness of the problem. To start with he had to contend with a lot of reluctance. To do the problem. We didnt. Even. Realize the management is still a problem in football of. We have all of the leadership because. We involve the community of. The quality of the rivers water is crucial for the region. Originating in the mountains it irrigates the fields around fort portal and flows into lake george a regional fishing hob. But large swathes of land along the river have been deforested causing.

Came and everyone was doing his own thing so the strategy was let them come together find out.
