Gloria is the mother of two children. Her husband, like many men in the area has emigrated to the U.S. Gloria also lived in the US for a brief period. In the end, she didn´t feel gringa or Mexican, and ultimately decided to return to Minitan.

This photo was taken when this group of children returned from school. That day (like many others) the teacher couldn´t come, so they decided to go swimming and cut mangos. I thought those days they learned much more than being in the classroom.
