Cuchumatanes, day 2

Catalina y conejo

Catalina and a rabbit.

Maria washes clothes

Maria washes clothes with baby Amalia on her back.

Also outside of Cuchumatanes, like Brian and Don Fermín and family. This is a very motivated family. They planted 15,000 or so trees (their estimate) from seed gathered in a nearby hillside for soil preservation and improved water flow (i.e. not sluicing downhill chopping through their crops). They have sheep, rabbits and are trying to start an oyster mushroom business, all on a very poor plot of cold, dry land.
