A View From 4 Feet

27/4/2017

Comments

 
We often wonder what goes through the minds of our project beneficiaries when we visit with Canadian teams. How do they see us? What do they make of the work we’re doing? This past week we got a unique opportunity to see our Chagas project through the eyes of a ten year old girl when she took our phone to take pictures while a team from New Brunswick worked at her house.

When Canadian teams participate in our Chagas project we try to partner them with families who need extra help with the labour work involved in renovating there homes to help prevent the disease. This particular family in the community of Mataral consisted of 9 people living in one small room. A second room was being built by the man of the house when he suddenly passed away as a result of Chagas last year, leaving the room without a roof.  Salome, the matriarch of the family lives with 5 of her children, four of which are quite young (ages 3 to 15). An adult daughter and her two children also live in the home. Lastly, Salome's brother-in-law who is deaf and mute makes 9.

Helen is the oldest grandchild at 10 and after commandeering Tim's phone she proved herself a budding photographer. The following are a small selection of her pictures and photo-documentation of the trip from 4 feet.
