Sharing migration stories across generations in Central America

The United Nations

Two migrants, one young and one old, have been sharing their experiences of migrating to a small town in Costa Rica in Central America.

From different backgrounds and with contrasting dreams, Candelario Téllez, and Juan Carlos both originally from Nicaragua share a common goal of wanting to be part of and thrive in their adopted community in the town of Upala.

The UN, and specifically the IOM (International Organization for Migration) and UNHCR (UN Refugee Agency), is currently supporting programmes for migrants in the town and across the region.
