josefa's house

10.12
there have been several people at josefa's house and today i learned that they live there. the man is one of her sons and his two sons and another girl that is 14. 9 people share this tiny little house with dirt floors and no doors, bamboo and black plastic walls. i used to think my bathrooms were really small, and i had 2. neither of their bedrooms is as big as either of my bathrooms were. josefa and leo shared 1 bed and yrlin and jeffrey shared a hammock above them. the other 'room' was where they hung their clothes to dry. 1 can't imagine where they all sleep now.

the family says mary and her brother eat the food and the children go hungry.
