Escuela

This is my Spanish teacher Magda and the school's assistant Lidia. Magda is the granddaughter of Guillermo Flores AvendaƱo, a former Guatemalan president who served for 6 months before being ousted. She's got 22 years of teaching experience but only makes 15 Quetzales an hour. That's about 2 dollars. We went on a trip to around the city today and we swung by the farmacy so she could pick up her medication but couldn't afford it because the owner is running late and hasn't paid her. I bought it for her, it only cost $5.
