Iva is my host, a farmer, and a mother. She is very funny and very hardworking. She works all day taking care of the animals, cooking for her children, cleaning the house, and has several part time jobs for income in addition to selling eggs. Eliska (14) is, as far as I can tell, a typical teenage girl. Hynik (10) is more willing to learn English. He plays piano and loves watching TV. Both kids are extremely helpful around the house. Eliska will often cook while her mother is working outside and Hynik helps with the farm work.
