Mother: Ilda García

Age: 22 Years Old

Kids: Milton Omar Murcia (7)

About the Family: Ilda is a young lady who has been involved with our work since we started visiting the Bordo. She is currently involved in the Adult Learning Class, and improving her knowledge in reading, writing and math. Her husband works with a machete cutting grass by hand. Their only son, Milton, is seven and would be going to 2nd grade if they could afford to send him to school. Working in gardens and fields with machetes is a very slow process of mowing, and since a lot of companies here have mowers it is very hard for workers like her husband to get a job very often.
