“Like many Stamford residents with Guatemalan roots, Claudia and Erick Escalante have something in common — the town of Monjas.

Claudia Escalante, 16, was born in California, but her parents are from the small rural town near the El Salvador border. Her husband, Erick Escalate, 22, is from Monjas. He moved to Stamford when he was 16. The two met because their mothers were close friends in Monjas.”
