By Marguerite Pigeon, for CBC News Online
Marguerite Pigeon has two jobs, she produces television shows and she is as human rights observer, computer-skills enabler, writer, and general link to the outside world for the COPINH (Civic Council of Popular and Indigenous Organizations of Honduras).
Marguerite said that her first job gives her comfort, good coffee, she goes out a lot, and she summarizes that in these words ”I’m a comfortable cog in the wheels of Canadian capitalism”.
But now she’s a volunteering with an indigenous rights group – lattes and boots a world away.
The town she lives in is called La Esperanza.By Honduran standards, it is prosperous. By any Canadian measure, it is dusty and ill-equipped. Her work in that town at the headquarters of a group called COPINH – a Spanish acronym for the Civic Council of Popular and Indigenous Organizations of Honduras. Her job here is as human rights observer, computer-skills enabler, writer, and general link to the outside world. She unpaind and her days now often include long trips to the capital city where we attend meetings with government officials.

Joe The Shoe cobbles in the basement of an office tower on the edge of Toronto‘s entertainment district. He has repaired shoes for Sissy Spacek, Mickey Rooney, Jennifer Lopez, Leslie Neilsen; he once put carbide bits in the heels of Samuel Jackson’s Guccis, so the American star could walk on Canadian ice with confidence. As you might expect, show folk are particular about what they put on their feet.
- Father Joe

Father Joe MacDonald is a modest man with a quiet manner. He has a neat white beard and a wispy, male-pattern tonsure, which suits him fine: he is, after all, a Capuchin friar.
In spite of the heart attack, he continues with his work. He supervises the home, says mass, conducts funerals and retreats, provides counseling and on Saturday nights he delivers hot soup to the men and women who sleep on the street.
- Joe Star

He was a happy-go-lucky kid who grew up in the Sixties in Lyons and he liked to listen to popular music on the radio, liked to sing along, and liked the way it made him feel. And then one day he heard rock ‘n’ roll. He creates a band, Joe Star Band. Joe and the boys have an eclectic repertoire: a little jazz, a little salsa, the usual Top 40 hits, all the standards.
- Joe Auto

Joe Vicente has been an auto-body man for over 30 years; he’s very good. Joe Vicente learned the auto body business in Portugal. He didn’t spend time in trade school. His father knew a guy who had a body shop; his mother was a friend of that man’s wife; the man agreed to give little Joe a job. He was 13 years old then; he’s 60 now. He may not have much in the way of formal education, but he knows one or two things you won’t find in a book.
