This is a place of beauty, pain and courage.
It is a beautiful and sad sight. The calm blue sky and the vastness of the sea are in contrast with the disarray and rather limited options of the people in this area. Surely, the people here do not concern themselves of how well their houses look, or what are the brands of their dresses. The people here are more concerned on what they will be eating every day and whether parents will be able to send their children to school. The children do not really care on having the latest gadget, they don't play with IPods' and Xbox, and they help their parents with their livelihood. They toil everyday hoping tomorrow would offer a better opportunity. There is no luxury here, only a little comfort, and a burning dream for a better life.
It made me realize how some people lived in a less than perfect environment and still have smiles on their faces. I am in awe on how they survived living every day. There is no drainage system and no sewers. Everything is in makeshift. It must be really tough but they get by.
