Discovery en Espanol Investigates the Latest Route for Migrants Trying to Reach the American Dream 


The original production “Colombia: la nueva frontera” reveals how this South American country has become a mandatory stop for thousands of people traveling to the United States. 


MIAMI, May 27, 2015 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Colombia has recently become the newest route for migrants traveling illegally to the United States.  The country serves as a transit point for many who undertake this perilous journey, generating lucrative profits for human trafficking rings and creating an authentic nightmare for authorities.  Discovery en Español exposes the various angles of this situation in COLOMBIA: LA NUEVA FRONTERA, an original production premiering Sunday, June 7 at 10PM E/P during the Discovery a Fondo (#Afondo) block.

In recent years, thousands of people have found a new route to the United States, starting in Ecuador and using Colombia as a jumping-off point for Central America.  From there, migrants travel through Mexico and cross illegally over the U.S. border.  People from all over the world use this route, but the majority is from Cuba, Bangladesh and Nepal.  In 2014 alone, the Colombian authorities estimate, more than 1,700 undocumented migrants were detained along this route on their way to the United States.  The situation is becoming more serious every day thanks to more flexible immigration laws passed in some countries in the region, among them Ecuador. 

For an inside look at the different facets of this complex reality, Discovery en Español’s production team profiled a number of migrants. They include Tony, a young man from Cuba who sets out on a dangerous odyssey from Quito to the Gulf of Urabá, near Colombia’s border with Panama, guided by a coyote known as “Gregorio.”  The documentary also exposes the workings of international human trafficking networks and counter-operations by immigration patrols and the Colombian Navy.

COLOMBIA: LA NUEVA FRONTERA is a coproduction by Discovery en Español and Caracol Televisión under the supervision of Irune Ariztoy, Executive Producer; and Michela Giorelli, Discovery’s Vice President of Production and Development; with the assistance of Pacha Films, under the direction of Luis del Valle.

“While the battle against HIV and AIDS is different today than it was 25 years ago, our mission to fight the spread of the virus and the disease in the Latino community has not changed,” said Guillermo Chacon, president of the Latino Commission. “We have stood by our community for a quarter century and know that the best way to achieve our goals is with their engagement and participation.  The commitment from our community to continue the fight with us, after 25 years, was made evident through their support of our anniversary tribute and we are so proud of that.”

This year’s Cielo, the largest fundraiser for Latino/Hispanic AIDS initiatives in the U.S, included award presentations to Dan O’Connell, director, AIDS Institute of the NYS Department of Health; Justin Toro, clinical social worker, Adolescent AIDS Program at the Children’s Hospital at Montefiore; and, to Delta Air Lines.

A new generation of supporters, activists and volunteer leaders made an imprint on the evening and contributed to the success of the gala.  Designer and Project Runway All-Stars winner Mondo Guerra, who was honorary co-chair of the gala, presented a gallery show of his latest fashions. Decorated veteran and actor in the Fox hit series “Gotham” JW Cortez joined NBC 4 New York news anchor Sibila Vargas as co-hosts, and a new cadre of madrinas and padrinos were installed.

Burlington Stores Donate $1.16 Million to WomenHeart Resulting from Burlington’s 4th Annual Red Dress Event 

Burlington and WomenHeart’s partnership expands education, awareness and support for women living with and at risk for heart disease nationwide


WASHINGTON, May 26, 2015 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — WomenHeart: The National Coalition for Women with Heart Disease announced today a generous donation of $1.16 million from the national off-price retailer Burlington Stores and its customers which will advance its mission of providing vital free education and support services to women living with or at risk for heart disease – the nation’s leading cause of death in women. Since February 2012, Burlington and its customers have donated more than $4 million to WomenHeart, the nation’s first and still only patient centered organization devoted to advancing women’s heart health. The four year partnership has resulted in the significant expansion of education, awareness and free patient support services nationwide for women living with or at risk for heart disease, the leading cause of death in women.

As in years past, Burlington customers nationwide had the opportunity to donate $1 or more at check-out for WomenHeart to continue its life-saving work to educate and support women living with heart disease in communities throughout the country. Burlington also donated $1 for each dress purchased, up to $25,000, to support WomenHeart’s mission.

Additionally, this year, WomenHeart and Burlington established The Heart of Fitness Tour – a free fitness and health screening event held at 10 select Burlington locations throughout the month of February, American Heart Health Awareness Month. The Tour offered a complimentary fitness class, heart health screening, provided heart health educational materials and hosted WomenHeart Champions – women heart disease survivors who helped to raise awareness of heart disease as the leading cause of death in women and empowered women to take charge of their heart health.

“We sincerely appreciate the commitment of Burlington and their customers to women’s heart health, and for making the program possible again this year,” said Mary McGowan, Chief Executive Officer of WomenHeart. “There is an urgent need to educate all women about their risk factors and to encourage them to make healthy lifestyle changes, and especially those most at risk. We know that women throughout the country also appreciate Burlington’s efforts to provide these free health screening so that they can become better educated and take control of their heart health.”

The heart health screenings, as part of the Heart of Fitness Tour, revealed that more than two thirds of women screened had a Body Mass Index of 24.9, an indicator that they are at increased risk for heart disease. The vast majority of screening participants were Latina, a population already identified at higher risk for heart disease. This finding is consistent with research that indicates that 70% of Latinas have at least one risk factor for heart disease, and only 37% of Latinas recognize heart disease as their leading health threat. The heart health screenings, consisting of blood pressure screening, waist circumference measurement, and risk factor questionnaire, also quickly made customers aware of their risks for cardiovascular disease and they were provided with important life-saving educational information so they could act quickly to take charge of their heart health.

“Burlington, with the help from our generous customers, was pleased to support our fourth annual partnership with WomenHeart,” said Tom Kingsbury, chairman and CEO of Burlington Stores. “We are pleased to have been able to further help educate women about the importance of their heart health, as heart disease is the leading cause of death in women. This year, we were also excited to have launched the Heart of Fitness Tour, providing valuable basic exercise tips to customers nationwide in an effort to help reduce their risk of heart disease.”

Since 2012, funds raised from Burlington Stores has enabled WomenHeart to:

  • launch its Spanish language outreach program – Para la Mujer Hispana – which focuses on reaching Latinas – a population at increased risk for heart disease – with vital heart health messages
  • launch a Spanish language website on www.womenheart.org
  • create a Spanish Red Bag of Courage (educational program) with a distribution of 30,000
  • distribute 75,000 red dress pins – the nationally recognized symbol of women and heart health – with messaging in Spanish
  • distribute 1 million Spanish language bookmarks with signs and symptoms of heart attack
  • enlist bi-lingual cardiologists to support messaging at Burlington store Red Dress events and in the media
  • create Spanish language infographics about women and heart health that are free for download at www.womenheart.org

With the conclusion of the 4th Annual Red Dress Event, WomenHeart looks forward to using funds collected to further expand the translation of heart health information on its website; enhance community outreach to include more Hispanic and African American organizations; increase Red Bag of Courage distribution through these organizations to reach at-risk women; increase the number of Spanish language Support Networks for women living with heart disease, and grow National Hospital Alliance membership to include more hospitals that serve high risk and underserved women.

About WomenHeart: The National Coalition for Women with Heart Disease
WomenHeart: The National Coalition for Women with Heart Disease is the first and still only nation’s only patient centered organization serving the 42 million American women living with or at risk for heart disease – the leading cause of death in women.

AXIA Traders Launches Latin America Technology Internship Program


MEXICO CITY, May 26, 2015 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — AXIA Traders today announced the launch of their Latin America Technology Internship Program which will provide real-world early-stage technology venture experience to recent university graduates from Mexico. AXIA is initiating the program with Tec Monterrey, Universidad Iberoamericana and El UNAM, with plans to add seven additional Mexican universities to the program before the end of this year. AXIA will also expand the program to include universities in Central and South America and the Caribbean beginning in 2016.

“Mexico has out-produced USA in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) graduates for nearly 10 years and counting when viewed as a percentage of each country’s population.” says Lawrence McDaniel, AXIA Traders’ country manager in Mexico.  Sean Goforth of Next Coast Media adds, “Per capita Mexico has three times as many engineering graduates as the United States. To Fortune 500 managers, this is no longer much of a secret. After all, engineers at Ford’s Mexico unit filed for more than 40 patents from 2010-2013.”

Mr. McDaniel further explains that one-semester unpaid internships are a graduation prerequisite at nearly all fully accredited Mexican Universities, and across the rest of Latin America as well. “Recent Mexican university graduates naturally have enormous interest in what’s happening in Silicon Valley, Austin, Texas and Boston. Our commercial ties to these US technology markets, combined with our local presence in Mexico City makes us a good host for interns working remotely.”

For U.S. technology companies interested in hiring one of AXIA’s interns for a Spanish Latin American product localization project for example, the process is simple.

  • AXIA vets candidates per the sponsor company’s profile
  • AXIA ensures all minimum academic internship requirements are met
  • AXIA hosts the intern from their Mexico City office
  • THE SPONSOR participates in a weekly 30-minute Skype video performance review session with the student
