A Letter from Tomasa in Mexico (Paola's Sister)

Do you remember the updated photo of Paola? She had her shirt backwards and inside out, and it looked like she hadn't been groomed. Well, here is Tomasa, looking exactly the same. What is really going on here? Were they sound asleep, and pulled out of bed in the darkness of night?
Here is the letter Tomasa sent to her sponsor Alice:
"Dear Alice,
Hello, I hope you are fine. I am going to tell you about Tomasa. She liked a lot the correspondence, she is very happy to know more about you and of the good will that you have towards her.
Her family thanks you for the details that you sent them with your friend. She liked them a lot and she also hopes to be able to meet you someday. Thank you for the correspondence.
Elizabeth Perez" ( CI field rep)

i am guessing they probably showed up for their pictures filthy so the people who were taking the pictures turned their shirts inside out just so they looked cleaner.. just speculation but I bet I am not far off.

I think you might be right Dana as a CI employee came up with the same explanation. Paola had some purple marks on her wrist which might have been paint so perhaps they also got paint on their clothes. But that doesn't explain the dirty faces and uncombed hair!!
