An intro to a New Friend...

So the first few sections:
Ok. So we've been introduced to both the character/person and history of Elvia and that of recent Honduras...
What do we think of Elvia's "forward" and story thus far (especially how she was brought-up, ignorant of her own sexuality and lacking in access to education)?
Where else do we see stories such as hers? (all over the world maybe?...)
From our perspective Elvia's early story is the same story of hundreds of thousands of poor hondurans and central american campesinas and campesinos.
How do we feel about this situation/story? And how should we feel?

And what are your thoughts about the "Introduction"? (doesn't it just make you love the US' past hand in foreign relations even more?!)

We're looking forward to your thoughts.
peace,
