They might not have had a formal education, and their yearly income might equal what some spend on clothing alone, but these women have large hearts and amazing work ethics.  Take time this week to note those who chose to stay in the background.  Giving them five minutes of complete attention might be the high point of their day!

Break Time - (Shhhhh!) - Jama Ecuador

I always call 'up' to Maria, who is often ill.  She always manages a smile!
