Day 3 of Trip # 10.......

 

Kid can not talk, only grunt. Looks to be 30 + months old.  Grandmother and father has to watch out for the boy as his mother has stated that 'if" he were to run in the road and got hit by a car...... she would get money.
 
One of the pics shows the floor where he lives and he also has a 15 month old brother.... Disposable kids..... I am paying my carpenter to fix the floor. The house is on 4' tall poles, so if a kid falls through the open areas, there is a 4' drop before impact.   
 
The other boy has a chronic ear issue. When I looked, I found a perforated, open and healed ear drum and the other side was bulging..... Doctor visit? No.... why that costs money!

Thank you for sharing with us how others live and take care of their responsibilities...

the pictures at 1st was not pleasant to look at . then I remember that its the RP and others probably live under worse conditions.

I and (others who not post),

Do appreciate that your helping this child and "fixing" the flooring to improve the child's safety

UPDATE: Here are some more pics. My two carpenters are busy dealing with rotten wood and doing the best they can on my budget. Also a pic of the youngest 3 kids. The middle one is the one who can not talk. Just screams and grunts, but does so with a purpose in mind.
