ysabetwordsmithThese are the character notes for "When You Learn to Read" Part 2: Bolivar Family.
Bosco Bolivar -- He has dark copper skin, black eyes, and short black hair. His heritage includes Mexican and Kumeyaay (Tiipai). He speaks Spanish, some English, and a little Tiipay. He is 28 years old in 2016.
Bosco is the husband of Loida (27), father of daughter Yanira (12), daughter Zaray (9), son Celso (8), daughter Rufina (6), and son Erasmo (5). They are migrant workers. Bosco was born in Mexico, while Loida and their children were born in America.
After the Big One ruptured water lines across the West Coast, most farms had to be abandoned. What little agricultural water remained was reserved for perennial crops that would take years to replace, such as grapevines and olive trees. The migrant workers had a few days to pick everything that could possibly be picked. Then most farms quit employing them.
So the Bolivar family drifted east, looking for an aid station, and wound up in Avery, California. They stayed at a shelter briefly, then moved into Casa de Esperanza owned by Aidan Spencer. The basement apartment was already full, so the whole family squeezed into a single large bedroom.
Bosco hopes to find work harvesting crops for a local farmer. He feels justified in doing whatever necessary to keep his family safe. He worries about getting injured and being unable to support his family. He wants to stockpile supplies, just in case. Bosco wears men's work clothes, mostly shades of gray and black occasionally accented with teal and orange.

Hired farmworkers are found in a variety of occupations, including field crop workers, nursery workers, livestock workers, graders and sorters, agricultural inspectors, supervisors, and hired farm managers. The majority are wage and salary workers, hired directly by farmers, but some are employees of agricultural service companies, including farm labor contractors, custom harvest providers, and management service providers. Many industrywide employment estimates also include support personnel on farms, such as human resource managers, sales agents, and truck drivers.
