March 10


Irma and I ventured to a nearby neighborhood this afternoon to visit four women from Group 4. The goals were to inquire of the business, set payment dates, and record the location of the houses on a map. Towards the end of the visits, we arrived at the house of a mother and daughter. A relative informed us that they were working at a nearby school, and gave us directions. We arrived in the midst of a school break and small hands filled with coins flooded the two vending tables of the mother and daughter. Irma and I quickly greeted the two and stood back to watch the women at work. Later, we learned that the mother had recently been in an accident. Although her right arm was completely bruised and she complained of pain, she picked up her granddaughter and poured us glasses of lemonade.
