Amparo Del Carmen Recinos

35 years old  / Homeowner

Amparo works at a bakery near her home. She learned how to bake bread a year ago. Her first jobs were in a recycling center and later in food stalls until she eventually learned the trade of bread-making. She will be living with her partner, Javier,  who also works at the bakery, her son, Niuman Miguel, but he was not at home at the moment of the interview.

The land where they live belongs to Amparo’s uncle, who has allowed them to stay there. She, her partner, and their children have been living on this property for five years. They share the land with her sisters, as there are two houses built on it.
