Learn what happens when the people behind the camera recall their viewpoint of a life-changing journey. On this moving episode of Beyond the Plate, we turn the cameras around to meet Viviana Moreno and Jose Manuel, from the television program ‘Come Home with Jen Mallan’ (airing on Christian Television Network), whose mission was to document poverty in Honduras became a deeply personal journey of connection and personal transformation. 
 
Honduras presents a stark reality—over two-thirds of the population lives in poverty, with millions surviving on less than $2 per day. For Jose, born in Colombia and raised in an orphanage before being adopted by an American family, the conditions triggered profound realizations: "That could have been me." His emotional journey culminates in gratitude to his adoptive mother for changing his life's trajectory. 
 
Through their lenses, Viviana and Jose captured the full spectrum of human experience—from the heartbreak of the San Pedro Sula garbage dump where people spend decades foraging through trash, to the joy of children at FFTP’s Angels of Hope homes where sustainable initiatives like bakeries that double as vocational training centers. 
 
This Hispanic Heritage Month, Food For The Poor celebrates the connections between cultures and how compassion transcends borders. You don't need a passport to make a difference—just a compassionate heart.
