Vidas del Niños Ecuatorianos: The Lives of Ecuadorian Kids

Introduction:

In my time here in Ecuador, I have learned many things and met many people. I had the pleasure to chat with a bunch of them, including a bunch of kids! For this week's article, I'm going to share the answers of a kid I met to some questions I asked about their experiences.

What do you eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner?:

"For breakfast, I eat bread and cheese. I drink fresh strawberry juice. At lunchtime, I enjoy chicken soup, followed by crispy fried chicken with rice and lentils. For dinner, I have juicy pork chops with rice and lentils, again."

What is your house like?:

"I live in a small red and white house with four bedrooms, a kitchen, a living room and a bathroom."

What chores do you have at home?:

"In Ecuador, we don’t usually have dryers, so we hang our clothes outside to dry in the sunshine. In addition,  I wash the dishes, make my bed, sweep the floor, mop and take out the trash."

What jobs do your parents have?:

"My mom owns a bodega and is always selling snacks and beverages. My dad is a taxi driver."
