Jimena Marquez (Project Number 3)


I had the pleasure to meet Doña Telma Leticia. She is a nice lady. She goes to the dinner every day and talkes to mostly all of the people. She has 1 daughter who is already married. She is a single mother. When she had her dauhter her husband left her and she never married again. I talked to her and some other ladies. They seem to enjoy the food there because the whole week that I was there they always greated me with a warm smile. All of the people there were so nice toward us. You could actually feel like if you were eating with your grandparents because they always made you fell welcomed. I couldn`t have more information about the life of Doña Telma but she told me that she had found job and that that was the most happy thing she had lived now. But the third day of me visiting them I got to talk to Doña Julia. She was a nice lady. She has 2 daughter and every sunday they gather together to eat lunch together. It was really nice to have been able to spend time with some great people.
