UPDATE Jan 2, 2013: Gregoria received a bed & mattress!
Gregoria climbs too many steps to her wooden house.
She talks about the eight children who have left her on the hill, who never come to visit.
When I ask her what her life was like before, she asks before? before?
Before what? She used to spend her days cilmbing mountains, pinching coffee seeds from their branches.
Today she spends her days climbing mountains, picking up sticks.
She carries the load on her back.
Sometimes she will rinse and peel onions in the fields for a few cents.
Sometimes a neighbor will have an extra tortilla for her.
