About the Family: The Rodriguez kids are very active in the Kids Learning Class. They have been working very hard at a steady pace in class. Bryan is 11 and only in 2nd grade because he has missed several years of school due to a lack of money and a need for him to help his dad with work. A lot of the kids in the Bordo have found a way to make a little money by working in fields with machetes. This work adds more income to the household but causes them to miss too much class repeat the grade again.

The kids have a great desire to have a better future. When we asked them what they wanted to become when they were older it was obviously that they have discussed this before because they wanted to be able to work in the Maquilas (textile factories).
