MY HOME & COMMUNITY:

Our house has three bedrooms and one bathroom. It is located in “Ceibal,” a small community located in Bolivar, Colombia. It is made of concrete and has metal sheets as a roof. We have electricity, but there it is not stable. We do not have drinking water,  we have to collect it in containers to use it for cooking, bathing, and drinking. The weather is hot and the streets are unpaved.
