Working in the community

photo 1: Alfonso (Poncho) and Marcelino my ´bosses´ (the coordinators of Food Security area) vacunating chicken. I have a lot of fun with them on our long rides to the community or working in our vegetable garden: practising my few tsotsil words, making silly jokes, singing along to the radio songs, with Marcelino dedicating all love songs to Juanita.
