1000 Americans: Yolanda & Monica, Morelia, Mexico

Actually the photo above is taken in Patzcuaro, but Yolanda & Monica live in Morelia. Monica is studying art and will be off to finish her studies elsewhere soon, either elsewhere in Mexico, or in the US or Europe.

Her mother Yolanda use to have a computer shop with her husband Juan. Now she gives courses for future moms as well as nutritional education to schools, and practices her knowledge by creating healthy and tasty food for her family and friends.
