Zacualpa is a small but busy village in a mountain valley.  The village is inhabited by both Quiché Indians and Ladinos (those with mixed European ancestry). The prevalent language is Spanish.  Families in this village live in one or two room homes generally constructed of either wood or adobe.  Although many of the people are farmers, the village contains several small specialized stores, a body repair shop for buses, mechanics, plumbers and many other small-town tradesmen.   It also has a large open-air market which serves much of the area.

Hello, my name is Cefora Rachel Pu Simaj.  I was born on March 13, 2010.  I am a healthy child, and I walk about 15 minutes to get to the feeding program.  I have two brothers and two sisters.  My mother’s name is Gregoria and she is a housewife.  My father’s name is Moises and he is a rancher.  We live in a house made of adobe with a tile roof and a dirt floor.  We have one room and a separate kitchen.  We have water and electricity.  I am in the 3^rd grade.  My favorite color is pink and my favorite animal is the hen.  The food that I like best is fried chicken.  In my free time, I like to play with dolls.  My favorite sport is soccer.  My family attends Church of God. 

With much love and many blessings,

Cefora Rachel Pu Simaj
