ENTRE NOS

What a strong family they are especially when their husband/dad/protector leaves them with nothing. Gabi steps up as man of the house. He takes on responsibility like collecting cans early in the morning to help make money. He watches after his sister. He translates English for his mother. He does all this despite being let down and abandoned by his father.

Andrea is a happy little girl who likes human interaction. She likes to play games and tries to make friends. She is immature still because her age but overall a happy spirited child who is attatched to her mother and her brother.

Mariana is so strong. I don't know how she made it through and still tried to keep her kids happy by letting them go to the movies and buy snacks and she plays games with them to make them laugh, despite all the stress Mariana is dealing with. She stays strong for her kids because she has to provide for them. She is constatnly looking for ways to make money so they could have food, shelter. She is trying to give her kids the best opportunity with minimal resources.

Overall, looking at what hard times they were facing and how poor they were, it's amazing how they kept it together and stayed strong for their small family
