Deep in rural La Huasteca along the coast of the Gulf of Mexico, ramshackle bungalows are sparsely scattered amid lush trees and livestock. Eight-year-old Carolina lives in an indigenous community here with her mother and stepfather. Given the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, she has lost out on almost a year of schooling.
