Teresa Méndez-Faith
Origins
I was born in Asunción, Paraguay,
in the middle of the 20th century. I was the eldest child of Epifanio
Méndez Fleitas, an exceptional man of his time, and of Fredesvinda
Vall de Méndez, a most wonderful mother. Together with my four younger
brothers and one sister, we have experienced an exceptional life, ranging from
playing games in presidential palaces to barely scraping by for a living as
exiles.
From the age of 9 until the fall of Stroessner my
life was a sequence of exiles. These began within Paraguay, in San Pedro del
Paraná, later as an adolescent in Montevideo, Uruguay,
and extending several years through my life in the United States. It was in the
United States that I now live with my husband Ray
Faith and son Edward Faith.
Here are a few photos from
a recent trip to Peru, Venezuela, and Brazil.
