This is a family that lives just around the corner from us. We have passed them quite a few times but never took a picture. They seem like a happy bunch but they live right on the edge of a busy highway. I don't know how these people survive. Take a close look at the terrible little tents they live in. The woman hanging out the clothes is barefooted in those rocks. We saw the older little boy carrying a big basket of potato peelings and other refuse from the camp up a steep and long stretch on the side of the road from his home. We watched and when he got to a certain spot he stopped and dumped the contents of his basket over a railing. I have no idea of where they get their water or go to the bathroom because there is absolutely no privacy. It's just amazing to me how these poor creatures live. They seem happier than the people that live in the horrible excuses for apartments though.
