A wife is doing the family
laundry. Notice the blue barrel
tabs of water which must be
brought in due to the lack
of running water. |
A child almost naked playing
amongst the garbage in the cold.
The day before these pictures
were taken it was raining. |

 |
The garbage and refuse of the
settlement is piled close to the
dwellings. The local government
garbage trucks do not service
the settlement. |
This thirty-year-old settlement
still has unpaved roads. The rain
creates muddy conditions for
everyone. In the background
laundry hangs to dry. In the
foreground, next to the
stone block, is a dead rat. |

This photograph clearly shows
the proximity of the settlement to
some of the factories, in this case, a grain
store. In other cases, noxious, perhaps
toxic, fumes from other factories blow
across the settlement for the residents,
young and old, to inhale daily. |
