Meet Daniel...

This is Daniel. He is 6 year old and loves cars. He tells us that he doesn't have a favorite animal, because he only likes cars. He enjoys school and while there likes to study and paint. His mom tells us that he loves to draw and paint at home as well and he always keeps ALL of his artwork!

The view from Daniel's house.

Their front yard. The mound to the right with pots on it... this is their kitchen/stove.

This is Daniel's Mother, Grandmother, brother and sister. His Grandmother walks him and his sister to school everyday. We asked how long it takes and this was her reponse, "Not very long, only about an hour." (This is one way.) Keep in mind the view from their house you saw above, in order to get to their house, one must hike over 5 minutes up a very steep incline. Daniel was running up the hill due to the excitement of us coming over, however we were sweating I assure you!

A look at the inside of the house. There are 8 people who live in this one room house. There are 3 beds around the edges and a few piles of clothes. His father is not around, so his mother provides for the family working at a small restaurant in town bringing home Q450/month. (roughly $60/month)
