In Nahualá, Guatemala, waiting has become a constant. Some wait for news on whether their loved ones were one of over 50 migrants who died crossing the border in a truck. Others wait for their loved ones' bodies to be repatriated. Via PlazaPublicaGT
GUATEMALA CITY — After four hours in the Guatemalan ministry of foreign affairs, Manuel Jesús Tulul walked out, his face contorted with grief. He and his wife, Magdalena Tepaz Tziac, had confirmed with a photograph that their son, Juan Wilmer Tulul Tepaz, was one of seven Guatemalans — and— who died last week in a sweltering-hot, unventilated tractor-trailer found in San Antonio. The vehicle was carrying more than 65 men, women and children.
When news reached Nahualá that Pascual Melvin Guachiac Sipac, age 13, and Juan Wilmer Tulul Tepaz, age 14, had perished inside the truck in San Antonio, the village reeled with shock and anguish.Nahualá has suffered additional losses: Two sisters, Karla and Griselda Carac, from the Colcojá district of Nahualá, drowned while crossing the U.S.-Mexico border in a separate incident.
Ixtoz has been teaching elementary school for 11 years in Santa Catarina Ixtahuacán. One of her ongoing battles is trying to convince her 11- and 12-year-old students not to emigrate. Carlos, 19, is the oldest of three siblings. He has a 16-year-old sister and a 10-year-old brother. Carlos decided to leave due to difficulties in his village. He studied science and literature in high school, but after graduating last year he was unable to find work.
On June 30, Tambriz and his wife, Elena Guarchaj, traveled to the capital to seek information about the whereabouts of Carlos, but there were no updates. They planned to return this week to provide DNA tests. Meanwhile, there is some hope but also a great deal of doubt.
