NGO

This is 3 hours North east of the city. "The countryside" There is an organization called Non Government Organization that goes to these homes, does an assessment, and gives them small loans. These families are visited 3 times a month by the organization and pay back their loans. Everyone is more than willing to work so they can make money to keep their family alive. Since they are on this type of program they are able to send their children to school. As you can see, these houses are not made very well. No real doors to close and no glass windows. The house in the first picture has 9 family members living in it. The lady is the oldest, she is 71. They raise pigs and sell pepper to make money. This pig was the biggest pig I have ever seen! They also had a few cows roaming in the yard...but I am not sure if they were pets (for dinner) or just roaming around....and as you can see they just have dirt roads. These people were just as interested in us as we were of them. very friendly, happy people. I wish everyone in America (the non working government funded ones) would be able to see what these people have to do to survive instead of just waiting for a hand out by the government. This was an eye opening experience!!!!
