Raquel is a woman who works day by day taking care of the daily household chores and looking after her family. She will be living with her husband and their three children (only two of them were at home at the time of the interview).

Genesis Del Carmen Gonzalez Gonzalez

Genesis is currently in 8th grade at school, she loves numbers and mathematics.

Yolanda Isabel Gonzalez Hernandez

4 years old  /Raquel’s daughter

Yolanda is a very friendly and active girl who loves playing with her toys and spending time with her siblings and parents.


The land belongs to Raquel’s mother, and she gave them space to build their small house 20 years ago, entirely out of adobe. The land is swampy, and during the rainy season the entire floor of the house becomes damp, causing discomfort for the family.
