Russell-Silver Syndrome.
Lives in San Juan La Laguna, Sololá, Guatemala.

Domingo lives with his parents and his 10 siblings: 5 sisters and 5 brothers.

Domingo has been working at Alma de Colores since November 2011: it has been already five years since he started making artisanal products in our workshop.

He loves making necklaces, macramé bracelets and making bread for his clients in San Juan de la Laguna.
 

At the moment he is attending the second year of secondary school, but he really wants to keep studying in order to become a mechanic, as he is strongly passionate about cars and engines.

He is happy to be part of Alma de Colores because he loves working, learning new things and sharing daily moments with his colleagues.

When he feels sad or stressed he likes going for long walks. In his free time he likes listening to music.
