COMMISSIONS: #NosFaltan41: Recalling the Guatemala Orphanage Fire - coming soon: 12-20180215orphanagefire006

GUATEMALA CITY, GUATEMALA - FEB. 15, 2018
The grandmother and Angely Hernandez, 14, left, who lost her sister Madelyn, 15, in a fire that killed 41 girls at Virgen de la Asuncion shelter in 2017, in San José Pinula, Guatemala. She now works with her grandmother at a market in the capital - where her sister used to work. Angely also lived at the shelter at the time of the fire, but was in a different room for younger girls. A staff member informed Angley, and two other girls, that they've lost their siblings in the fire.
Angel said they had a lot of free time at the shelter. There was no school. They would spend their days watching TV.
Unable to care for the girls, likely due to poverty conditions, their family sent them to the youth shelter.
