Meredith lives in the agricultural community of Los Laureles, home to about 3,000 people. Spanish is the common language. Typical houses are constructed of dirt floors, tin walls and metal roofs. The regional diet consists of beans, bread, cereal, beef, chicken, fish, cabbage and cassava. The most common health problems are a lack of specialized health care for children, pregnant women, and the elderly; a need for more medicine and vaccines; a high presence of snakes; and poor water quality.
Most adults in Los Laureles work in free trade zones; others make a living by growing rice, performing domestic services or selling goods on the street. The average family income is equivalent to about $45 per month. This community needs improved housing, better employment opportunities and a technical school for vocational training in addition to police and fire stations.
