Brothers Alberto and Gregorio Tut Cac last saw each other in 1982, when they fled to the mountains of northwestern Guatemala to save their lives as soldiers destroyed their village amid a bloody civil war.
Alberto and Gregorio embraced for the first time in 31 years Thursday, after a non-governmental organization helped them find each other.
With the Tut Cac brothers, the Mutual Support Group has helped reunite 108 people separated during the war.
"In 2001, people looking for their loved ones began approaching us," said Mario Polanco, director of the group. "We have 1,500 cases now and of those we have helped 108 reunite."
