youngest of his 3 siblings. His family sells candies in a stand outside of the
subway station for the Tren Ligero at the Periférico Sur stop, they are of
Otomí origin. Her and her sister Jackeline have been coming to Codeni for
almost 2 years and found out about the institution because they have some
cousins that had attended Codeni before they did. When Janeth first came to
Codeni, she was very shy and quiet, but little by little she has been growing
and becoming more sociable. This month she has earned the participant of the
month because she had had low grades in school and minimal participation in
Codeni, however, she was determined to better her grades and she promised to be
in the tutor program at Codeni. She had passed her most recent grade in school
with better grades and for this reason she deserved to be the participant of
the month. She likes to read a lot and has made new friends at Codeni that help
make her feel good with her activities.
The
last year she participated in the book of photographic research, “Everywhere,
Hundreds of Thousands”, by the photographer Natalia Fregoso, where she wrote
one of her stories talking about working children in diverse environments and
places in the country.
