Leonel Antonio's story

Leonel Antonio is 48 years old. He's married. He has 2 children. He lives with his family in the municipality of Comayagua. For 14 years, he has worked selling fruits and vegetables from the house where he lives. In the past, he worked as a day laborer and had a grocery store.
