A single woman named Ancelma lives with her son Cristian, 13 years old. She works for the municipality sweeping the streets (a very low job in this town). Ancelma does not speak Spanish, rather she speaks only Quechua but understands a little Spanish so her son has to do all the translating so that we may reach our objectives. Although she does not speak the language the workshops are taught in she comes and seems to get the jist of the program. As she had no man in her life she helped unload all her gravel and sand with Cristian one Saturday. It took them the better part of a day and every trip she made to get another wheel barrow full she said “ Kansacjhu” which in Quechua means “oh my goodness this is really tiring work"
