Miguel Ángel Larin Flores

63 years old / Farmer / Vicenta’s husband

He is a hardworking man who strives to provide for his family by working in the fields, planting corn and beans. They have been living together as a couple for more than 40 years.


This house and land belong to them as a married couple. The house is made of metal sheets and bahareque. During the rainy season, the roof leaks, the metal sheets break, and the walls get very wet. The house was built 15 years ago, and they have lived there ever since.
