In this March 29, 2019 photo, Nicaraguan exile, who wishes to only be identified by her nickname "La Profe", Spanish for "the teacher", begs for spare change in Alajuela, Costa Rica. She fled during the so-called Operation Cleanup launched by Daniel Ortega last July, which the United Nations has termed a “witch hunt” aimed at suppressing dissent. She holds a sign with a message that reads in Spanish: "I am Nicaraguan and I need 5 or 10 colones to be able to buy food and pay for a roof to sleep under. Hands that give are never empty. May God bless Costa Rica and Nicaragua." (AP Photo/Carlos Gonzalez)
