Description : The accident happened in 1986, while he was working in a minefield near the Nicaraguan-Honduras border, a zone where the conflict was particularly devastating and where there is now the greatest number of mines in the country.

He now lives with his wife and four sons in Jalapa and sells food at the bus station for a living.
