Esteven Alexander Medrano Ramírez
11 years old / Student / Martha’s Grandson
Esteven is a very friendly boy who is in fourth grade at school. He enjoys playing soccer with his classmates.
The land and the house belonged to Martha’s husband, but they are now hers. The house was built 10 years ago using metal sheets, mud, and wood sticks. During the rainy season, they suffer greatly from strong winds and roof leaks.
