13 or selling food and handicrafts in the street. He wanted to continue studying and work for his family. When Henry Giovanni began to study again, he helped her take care of his siblings, while she went to work as a “maid.” From the age of 14, the victim helped his family materially and financially, constantly and regularly. At that time he earned about 15 or 20 quetzales, and he gave his mother up to half of this amount or brought home food and clothes, and this represented almost half the household expenses, including the expenses of the siblings. Even when he left the house, he contributed something every month or two. When the victim died, the family’s financial situation was constrained. In Guatemala, it is usual for children to contribute towards the household needs and, when they leave the home, they are free to continue supporting their parents in their old age or not. When she found out about the death of her son, she suffered from neuralgia and facial paralysis for almost two years, and she received no specific treatment for this. At present, she also suffers from gastritis. She still has these health problems, but she has not been able to receive medical attention owing to lack of money or due to her work. During that period she almost abandoned her other children. Six or seven months after the death, her home disintegrated because “she threw” her husband out of the house. Owing to lack of money, she could not organize the type of wake and burial that she wanted for her son. Neither could she have his body exhumed, and he is still buried as XX. She would still like to formally bury him with a gravestone. She and her family still feel the presence of Henry Giovanni in their lives. It would be important to know that those responsible for the death of her son had been punished. As a result of the proceeding before the Court, she expects justice and some measure such as a school for street children, where they can be safe during the day. The witness believes that the State of Guatemala has not guaranteed her rights. b) Testimony of Margarita Urbina, grandmother of Julio Roberto Caal Sandoval Since Julio Roberto died, his mother, Rosa Carlota Sandoval, who was her daughter, has also died. Julio Roberto had no siblings. From an early age, he lived with the witness and occasionally with his mother, because his stepfather mistreated him. Julio Roberto never knew his father. He was a well-behaved child. They were very poor and she sent him out to shine shoes, sell candies or extract sand from the hillside to sell to the “big houses’. From the age of six, he worked to help her and to improve their living conditions. He bought food for her every day. Julio Roberto did not attend school because they were too poor to pay for his schooling. When they had nowhere to live, they lived on the street. Julio Roberto talked to her about his expectations for the future and about his wish to continue working in order to improve their financial situation. Julio Roberto’s death was extremely painful for her. Moreover, he was her only financial support, and since then she has had virtually nowhere to live. At present she lives on a lot “covered by nylon” and there is no one who can help her. She extracts sand and sells it to make a living. c) Testimony of Reyna Dalila Villagrán Morales, sister of Anstraun Aman Villagrán Morales
