Kangaita

Kangaita - Visiting the children at home.  Many of the children live in a slum called Kangaita next to the quarry where many of their parents work (and the children when they are not at school).  A pretty setting by the river, a series of mud and stick homes reminds you of the middle ages in England.  We talked to the families, visited homes, climbed the muddy paths alongside sheep and cows.  Although in poverty and naturally would like 'something more', they are grateful for "two rooms in the house instead of one".
