La Esperanza, La Paz
A Lenca woman makes corn tortillas by hand. She places the tortillas on a clay griddle (comal) to cook over the wood-burning stove (estufa). She walked to the mountains in the early morning to gather firewood for cooking. The cost of electricity and electric and gas stoves are beyond her means.
  Schoolchildren from La Esperanza perform a folkloric dance in the outlying Lenca village of El Tablor.
