Next to Juan is grandfather Manuel Barrillas who is enjoying a talk with his brother. They are a total of 11 brothers and one sister in their family. In the Guatemalan culture it is very natural to have a lot of kids. "The more the merrier," they both say. Manuel loves all his grandchildren and spends a lot of time with them passing on his Guatemalan culture and values. He has 6 grandchildren so far.
