Feeding Center Children

Written by Teddie on July 25th, 2014

Brayan lives with his mother and father in a crowded room with other family.  They have a small piece of land but they are not able to afford to build a small house.  His father works as a security guard which earns about Q50 per day ($8.00).  His mother is a regular volunteer at the feeding center.  She has a very humble and grateful spirit.

Rosa and her 2 siblings are being raised by her mother.  Her mother cleans houses and washes clothes to make a little bit of money.  There were bricks were given to them so they can have a little protection from the weather.  However, plastic tarp  and rusted tin covers the majority of the house which does not give much protection from the weather.

Daniel and his sister are being raised by their mother.  She works as a dishwasher in a cafeteria where she makes Q25 ($3) per day.  Their breakfast consist of bread and coffee, and their dinner is mostly beans and tortillas.  Families can make 5 tortillas for Q1 (13 cents)!
