Deacon Miguel’s house was one of the many destroyed in the earthquake ten years ago. He lives in this one room with his wife and three children.
Deacon Miguel showing me the inside of his home, with a tarp holding water from his leaky roof. He and his wife and three children live here. Behind him is the bedroom, separated from the room we are in by a hanging sheet.
