New Housing Project!

Cris's front of his house where he works on the beds for

the missionaries and does other work.

This is actually the back of his house the entry is on the other side.

The sides of his house show a variety of found and gathered

materials that have been welded, stuffed and tied together for shelter.

The entrance below....and secured to the tree in the right picture.

Elder J. taking pictures of me and the kids waiting to load up.

The lady in the "red" wasn't a part of the group. She just showed up and stared at us and hung around awhile. Here she is "Photo Bombing" some pictures. LOL. We had many more and she has some interesting expressions. We think she may have had some mental disabilities and didn't mind having her there.

She just added fun to the whole thing!

Below are many of the mom's of these children.
Some of their husbands came on motorcycles.

KIDS STUFFED IN THE BACK OF OUR TRUCK...

FUN THINGS TO LOOK AT!

Girls at the check-out counters in a store we frequent. At another one they all have to wear their hair in buns like this but are required to all wear bright red lipstick!
