Hi! How are you all doing this week.!!! This old man is a friendly man once you begin to talk with him. Well, his name is Florentin Arriaga and he is 79 years old. He was born in July 28,1920 in Corralito Guatemala. He only went to primary for 16 days because he didn’t like to go to school . While he was growing he was to do pasturing of beasts.
In the year 1987, he came to the village in our country Belize. When he came to this village there was almost al bush and not to many houses only about 8 houses. They could easily go and catch any kind of animal in this small village because there were only bush. There was no electricity. He has known 10 years of living here. He said that in 2001 they put the electricity and also began to put pipes in every house. Know it has an increase in population, well of course it also has an increase in houses. Nowadays there are more houses and less bush. In past years there were only walkways and no roads but now there are more roads and fewer walkways. He married at the age of 52 but before he was married he already had his daughters and sons. His wife was 45 years when she married and her name is Bonifasia Arriaga. When he was an adult he liked to do agriculture but so he could get some money he went to the forest, got some logwood and he sold them.
This is what i made have a good day and may my powerful God bless you all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
