MY FAMILY:

I live with my mom, my stepdad  and my sister.  My mom’s name is Milena, my stepfather’s name is Cristian and my sister is Yuliana. To support my family my stepdad works as a security guard.

MY HOME & COMMUNITY:

Our house has 4 bedrooms and one bathroom. It is located in “Guabal,” a neighborhood located in southern Bogota, Colombia. We have electricity, but there is no waste management. Water arrives once 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.
