With an estimated 80% of the cocaine entering the United States now being trans-shipped through Honduras, the violence on the streets is a spillover from the ramped rise in narco-trafficking.

Each day a team goes out into the streets to meet with vulnerable groups of homeless to assess their needs. (Image credit: Getty Images via @daylife) |
