juan-carlos & mom

Juan-Carlos and his mom,, Paola-Marguerite. She's a single mom who works full-time in a factory making clothes. The kids are looked after by the grandmother before and after school. I met Paola-Marguerite at the monthly parent meeting with EI staff. She's a charming woman who carries herself with great dignity & obviously adores Juan-Carlos. He's a sweet gentle boy, with a beautiful smile. And is so eager to please.
