Poverty and OGN

On Monday Bina took me to see the homes and workplaces of the families of a couple of kids at OGN.  Their poverty is shocking and I found the visit terribly upsetting.  I'll let the pictures do most of the talking.

One mother, recently widowed and left with three children under the age of ten, outside the shack in which they all live.  Generously estimating the dimensions of the place, the family lives in a room no bigger then 5m by 5m:

Inside the shack.  That's all there is too it, apart from one small storage until just out of frame on the bottom right where a few kitchen utensils are stored:

The field outside.  The shack is just out of shot on the left.  On the right you can see the outhouse, with the blue door.  In between is where the mother works, making paper, some of which is drying in the stacked frames:

It's not much of a life, to put it mildly.
