Senora Antonia Alicia Velasquez


I'll write more about Mrs. Antonia Velasquez soon...she approached me as I was walking by (I just happened to have my camera in my hand) wanting a photo of herself in front of her "champita," so that she could take the photograph to the Mayor or to the President in order to get some help.... She told me that she had been displaced by the earthquake back in 2000; you can see the bare area across the valley on the tops of the hills where the earthquake caused a massive mudslide burying alive about 800 people...
