She is five years old. She has already her household responsibilities and she takes care of a younger sibling. She lives in Quintana Roo, Mexico in a village 10 miles west of highway 307 in the area known to the tourist as Riviera Maya and Costa Maya. To the east of highway 307 there are the big tourist resorts. I some of them a suite could cost 500 $ US just for a couple of days. But she lives to the west of 307 on the end of a dirt road in a village what belongs to the native people who ruled the land before the conquest. She is Maya. The drinking water for her village is carried 1 ½ mile from a cenote [sinkhole] trough the jungle. The only electricity in the village comes from a sun reflector at a single little store feeding a fridge-freezer unite. The population of the village is about 150 people.
