i probably could've made this a blogpost much sooner but never got around to getting a pic with the whole family. nevertheless, here we go. this is the excellent family i've lived with for the last month and a half. from the left goes abby, abby, luiz, luiz, velvit, and tifani (the girly dog) is tucked in there too. you can't get much better people. pops protects detainee's rights that are arrested and occasionally 'roughed up' by the police. mom works a lot in the house, but also works for a nonprof that helps women that have been victims of violence or marital issues, and she still makes time to take evening classes at the university. velvit (20) is on her way to becoming a dentist, abby (18)is a bio-chem student working toward med school and little luiz (15)is studying like a G to be a pilot. on top of all this, the family rents a phone at the front window to folks saving cell minutes or just needing to make a quick call and not use the pay phone. everyone works together to accomodate the students and they only speak spanish. no one ever seems to get angry or have an argument which lends creedence to my theory that the school keeps the family heavily sedated at all times.
