So my grandma, my mom's mom, she was living there and then she got shot on the legs and then she had to come to the city and we went to the hospital to like fix that and she couldn't go back to the town because it's not safe. You can die.

[00:37:22]and she left everything her house her how to get her living. So we came to the city and then the government in a way to solve that they let us uh stay in the soalo and sell clothes because that's our way of earn something.

[00:37:43]>> So that's when when I met your mother 5 years ago the first time that little spot the government let her sell >> Yeah. without charging for the rent.

[00:38:48]And when the teachers do uh strikes or blockades, that's when we have the opportunity to like sell the clothes.

[00:39:04]>> This is a prince, Aztec prince.

[00:39:08]>> He left uh his fiance to fight.
