Magdalena Elizabeth Guerrero de Mejia

28 years old / Homeowner

Magdalena is a hardworking and responsible woman who, day by day, looks after the well-being and care of her family by doing household chores and selling pupusas with her sister every Saturday. She will live with her husband (who was not present at the time of the interview) and her son.

Edwin Alfredo Mejía Guerrero

8 years old / Student / Magdalena’s son

Edwin is a very friendly boy who has had cerebral palsy since his first year of life. He attends therapy twice a week in Berlín and Jucuapa. Despite his condition, he is in second grade at school, where he stands out with very good grades.


The house and the land belong to Magdalena’s parents, and they live there with 8 other people. The house is made of concrete blocks, but they would feel more comfortable by themselves.
