Kids in their house
In El Salvador, kids are like 2nd parents, they are very responsible. Sometimes there are 8 yr old girls caring for babies because their Mom has to work.

Bathtub
This is where they wash their kids. When they don't fit, the kids stand and the parent pours water over them.

Veronica's house
They grow tomatoes on nets across the roof of their house. They call them "hanging tomatoes". Unbelievable how efficient they are and how they use every resource they have.

Baby in a hammock
In El Salvador, babies sleep in hammocks. They can't afford cribs. Bt the babies are very exposed to bugs. A man named "mike" donated 100 mosquito nets that he bought at Ikea. We took them around. Because we were so tall compared to them, we hung all the mosquito nets! We delivered about 30 nets in a morning.

Laundry
The men come around with a "stencil/box" to pour concrete to make a laundry station. I got to see 1 being made.

A home
This is the front door to someones home. Out front is the wood for their open fire cooking.

Dogs
That brown dog was the meanest dog I have ever seen in my life! It was tied down.

Laundry station
The plastic bins are where they do the laundry. These people couldnt afford the concrete station.

Naked girl!
She was half dressed in the middle of the street! This was ne of the nicer streets in the neighborhood because it is concrete. When I look at these pictures now it makes me think of those commercials about the poor kids in Africa, but they are everywhere.

Veronica
Veronica at her house. She was so shocked when she saw me. She said "este mi casa!!" This is my house! She was so excited. I got to meet her Mom.

Puppies
Veronica's cousins puppies

Jardin de secrete
"Secret Garden" This was like a secret garden. You had to go through their house and woods to get to the garden. We had to duck through everything because it is built for short people!
