Sometimes, the reality sinks in that, while I am going home later in the day, people like this woman LIVE here. It is all she knows.

Life in the slum
At the Ja Rurat slum area, we meet the children at a kind of local community gathering area in the center of the slum. There is a crude wooden stage with a roof overhead. This woman is here at the corner of the stage every time we visit. Near as I can tell, she lives here. Note that she has a fire going to cook rice and some bowls and things on top of the 'cabinet' next to her. This would be no worse than many of the 'homes' here in this community. There are some straw mats off to the side on which I assume she sleeps.
