After the creation the gods forgot this place. The people here live in terrible conditions.
Only a house with electricity, no running water, a toilet for around fifty people.
This girl is twelve years old, she is paralyzed from the waist down, a tumor on her spine is the cause. Surgery did not improve, is it the tumor? Was the operation not performed accurately enough? Nobody knows, there is no money for in-depth investigation, they are still paying off the debts of the operation. Everything under the ribs is numb, when the pañales are finished she is in her droppings, which she cannot control, there is usually no money for new pañales, the family suffers daily hunger, survives only with food aid from their fellow villagers. These people also struggle daily to survive. Women and children try to sell their dolls of corn leaves in the tourist town of Copàn Ruinas, an average doll, 1 dollar a day, after deduction of the paint, the adhesive and the glitter, remains about 45 cents, but they have no choice. After twelve years I forgot what it was like to live like this, now the memory is painfully back. Thanks to my father a few people got a chance, I want to follow him, Maybe this photo and text creates more opportunities for people, I hope so.
