Gregorio is a 40 year old man. He is married and he has a beautiful family of four children between the ages of 7 and 22 years old. This family lives in a community called Chichicastenango. Gregorio (the first on the right in the photo in the striped shirt) is a great man and an example to be followed because, in spite of the scarce resources that his family has, with his strength and dedication he was able to graduate as a music teacher and now, thanks to this profession, he has been able to get his family ahead. He has spent 10 years in this profession.
Now, Gregorio is thinking of constructing a home where his family can live in better conditions. Gregorio has taken great care to construct his home, but despite all of his efforts it has not been possible. With the desire to complete his objective, Gregorio has organized a group of people to seek a loan to purchase cement, sand, lime and iron to construct his home. Gregorio's greatest dream is to be able to continue studying music and to be recognized internationally as a great musician.
