Today I will write about another member of our Mechanical Team ? Rafael Minaya. Rafael is 27 years old. He is a nice, funny guy. He likes joking and friends like him for that. He is young but works hard.
Rafael says that there are two things in his life he is proud of ? his son and his work for a mineclearance organisation. He is sure this will be one of the interesting stories to tell his grandchildren. And they will also be proud of that.
Rafael is mad about hunting. As soon as he has any free time he spends it hunting. He was 15 years old when his father first took him hunting, and it has been his hobby ever since. Seven years ago he bought a dog, named Spy, and now they are both crazy about hunting. For Rafael it is his second life; for Spy, it is the only life.
Spy is a wise dog and a perfect hunter. He feels when Rafael is in a bad mood and starts whining. Rafaelfs son likes Spy very much and takes a lot of photos of him. These photos are everywhere in his room. Spy is the funny member of the family. He sits in an armchair like a human. Also he likes ice cream and swims in the sea. When Rafael comes to work, Spy follows him. He sits at the control point during the whole working day waiting for Rafael. All the deminers like him very much as well.
Rafaelfs wife has got used to her husbandfs passion, maybe because she worked in the huntersf shop for 2 years. They met each other there. So she does not mind that their nice apartment in the centre of town is full of hunting stuff and dogfs toys.
