Just behind the post you can see two of the food sources during the dry season high up in the mountainous villages where AFOPADI works in community. The project silos can help keep people from starving as they store nutritious, non-contaminated corn. The big squash is chilacayote; people boil it and add sugar. Sugar and corn syrup, just as in the States, comprise a large food group. Even in the tiniest village, sweets, soda and cookies comprise the main food group commercially available in makeshift tiendas. Many people evidence rotten teeth, lack teeth or sport metal-ringed teeth...a dental solution largely out of fashion in the States.
