Felipa sleeps on wooden boards laid on her dirt floor.
She did not go to school.
She had one child who died when he was born.
She had another, who died when she was born.
She had another child, and he died when he was born.
After this, she and her husband stopped trying, and had no more.
Her husband died some years ago; she passes the time threading bracelets to sell in the street.
He left some things, which she sells so she can eat.
