Houses & Familes

A few pictures from our house visits of families and their homes.

As a single mother, doing domestic work for others, this mother provides for herself and her 3 children off of $45/month.
Victor & Sonja (4 yr olds in the middle) go to school together and live together. Their are 10 people total that live in this 2 bedroom home. They have 2 mattresses and 2 hammocks.

Their kitchen
Wood they have gathered, cut and dried in order to cook their food.

2 families combined in this house.
This mother pulled her 4 & 5 years old boys out of school so that they could help her at home. They are able to run errands and take their dad lunch in the fields, while mom stays home with the baby. If they were not the most fun to take pictures of... look at those smiles!

Another kitchen

A family of 8 all sleeps and lives in this 1 room house.

Another favorite family to photgraph.
This mother does not know how to read or write and was unsure if her daughter was 5 or 6.
They were beautiful!
