Back to work after soccer game
These were some of the soccer stars on my Guatemalan team. After the game, these siblings had to return to their little shop (seen here) to sell the textiles their Mom makes at home. Their Mom speaks a Mayan language (not Spanish), so the kids are charged with opening up the shop/kiosk and working all day. Mom stays at home to weave. Can you imagine trusting an 11-year-old run your business while you stayed at home? We can't even get teenagers in the U.S. to take out the garbage!
