The dry season is a deadly time for the Borena herders of southern Ethiopia. There is little water, and it's hard to find grass for their cows to eat. But they have ways to cope: their traditional eelas, wells they use in the dry times to help their cows survive. See, and hear, how the Borena use these wells to survive, and how Oxfam America helped one clan optimize their well to make it more efficient.

Across El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras, people are asking: will metal mines really bring the type of economic development the region really needs? Or will massive, open-pit mines just displace farms, pollute the water, and fail to deliver good jobs for the long term? Oxfam America's senior writer Chris Hufstader visited this region and asked indigenous people, farmers, and those concerned with good economic policies what they think, and what they have to say in the debate about mining in Central America.
