They were not in a safe environment to live, but thank God they were able to buytheir property, where they were able tobuild a small room with a tarp, in this room they are able to sleep, cook, and eat. They have a dirt floor, they do have electricity, but they have to buy their water.  Their weekly salaryis not enough to cover everything that they need.
