Yesterday Pedro and the rest of a committee from Primavera Ixcan were returning from Guatemala City in a mini bus when there was a tragic accident. Along with two others Pedro died and some seven others were injured. The group was returning from an attempt to persuade the government to fulfill the promise made some ten years ago by a previous president to build a hospital for their community.
Pedro leaves his community without an important leader and also leaves his wife, Liria, four children, his mother and his sister. He will be missed.
