Some updates



Ninfa’s family lives in Cuilapan de Guerrero, about 40 minutes outside of Oaxaca City. Last week, we visited her sister Felipa who has a year old baby, Jasmine. The baby is adorable, is beginning to walk and loves to dance.

On another note, this last weekend my mom invited me to the wedding ceremony of her friend Wendy. Wendy and my mom are volunteers at COMI (Centro de Orientacion del Migrante de Oaxaca/Center for Orientation for Migrants of Oaxaca), a catholic center that provides temporary housing for migrants from Oaxaca and Central America. At the party, I found out that Wendy, her husband and Betty, another volunteer, are all Berkeley alumni!

The ceremony was great as well as the dinner and party that followed it.




Today, I tuned in to watch on-line the live video conference with the title “Espacios de acción y resistencia de las mujeres indígenas migrantes”/”Spaces of action and resistance of migrant indigenous women” which is part of an Interdisciplinary Seminar on Gender Studies presented by El Colef, in Tijuana.
