Here's a few more pics of the little girl's house. The first is the exterior. The second two are both sides of the house (there's only one room). The last is the outhouse. Keep in mind...9 people sleep here. There are only two beds. No electricity. No plumbing. No clean drinking water. No basic health care. Until last year, the floor was dirt. What you see in the photos is the sum of their possessions. There's a creek 15 yards away where they wash and bathe. Drinking water is pulled from a hand-dug well that catches rainwater. It sits with a sparse cover only a few yards from the hole for the outhouse. And yet, these pictures nor my words quite capture the situation.

Seeing these pictures puts so much of my selfishness, my "needs" into focus. A lot of us struggle with thinking our "wants" are really "needs." This makes me realize just how little I could live with (or without).
