The area surrounding The Goodwill School

After our daily meeting today I went for a walk in the area surrounding the Goodwill School with one of our teachers, Nain. I was invited in several homes and it was very interesting to see how they are living in a poor area such as this. The language barrier was of course big but Nain made it work by translating and I am glad she was along helping me. Since it was lunchtime they also invited me for a meal but I politely had to decline the nice offers since I wasn't willing to test how my stomach would react. The hygiene in this area is most probably a bit lower than what my stomach is used to.

 

I hope the attached pictures give you an idea what this area looks like and a view over the standard of the houses. The area doesn't have any running water but instead they all are collecting water from the well you find on one picture. By this well some of them are also taking their showers.
