Irena has been working as a coffee farmer for over 30 years. She harvests coffee, prepares it for sale, and does everything related to coffee. She will share her house with her husband, Raul (55 years old), but he was at work at the time of the interview.

Erick Daniel Martivez Aleman

28 years old / Irene’s son

Erick was born with polio, and doctors didn’t give him much hope of walking, but today he leads a relatively normal life.


The house they live in was built five years ago and is made entirely of metal sheets. They have lived in the same place for almost ten years.
