MY FAMILY:

I live with my parents and my siblings. My dad’s name is Jose, my mom’s name is Lina, and my siblings are: Sharol and Dilan. To support my family my dad works in construction.

MY HOME & COMMUNITY:

We live in a rented house, it has three bedrooms and one bathroom. It is made of roof tiles and concrete. It is located in “Altos de la Florida,” a neighborhood in Soacha, Colombia. We have electricity,  but there is no waste management. Water arrives twice per week, and we have to collect  it in containers to use it for cooking, bathing, and drinking. The weather is cold and the streets are unpaved.
