Mother: Marily Vasquez

Age: 27 years old

Kids: Luis 6, Paola 3

About the Family: Marily, a single mother of two kids, has always been involved with the work that we do. She is currently in the Adults Learning Classes, where she is now learning how to read and write. At the same time, Luis (who would be going to 1st grade) is a part of the Kids Learning Classes where he is developing in knowledge and being taught how to read and write. When we talked to him about what he wanted to be when he grows up he was shy at first thinking I was only teasing him, but when he realized I was asking for real he looked at me and told me “I’m gonna be an Engineer.” While we were talking, Paola heard our conversation and came running to me and asked me to come close to her as if she was going to tell me a secret. She then told me, “I want to be a doctor so I can make people feel better.”
