Elmer Antonio Maradiaga
32 years old / Farmer / Maria's grandson
He is the provider of the family, he plants corn and beans. One part of the harvest is for them to eat and the other one is for selling.
At the place where they live it’s not their own house, but they take care of it. The house it's pretty old and has a lot of cracks on the wall. The land where they will build, it was donated to them by the owner of the house where they are living at the moment.
The there of them felt happy when they told them about the house. They will have their own place to live that's what makes them feel more excited “ We want to thank Shelter, and everyone who is involved on this project.”
