This year David Argueta and his family will not celebrate Christmas in their house. The hurricanes Eta and Iota wreaked havoc on all of Central America, and destroyed a big part of their property. Despite being left with nothing, the tiny bit of hope they have keeps them optimistic. Next year they hope to rebuild their house and continue living there. Photo: Seth Berry/Oxfam
