continuing

After the meeting, we took the CI truck to Francisco´s home. It was another wild ride and when we arrived, many of the children were there like they were when Steve visited. We went into a pretty good sized room which Francisco´s mom said was their home and I was confused because this did not look like the inside of the room that we saw on Steve´s video. In the video there was a  small  space with what looked like a back storage area, a refrigerator in the front w-TV , and a small bathroom to the side. So this is what I thought Francisco lived in with 12 other people but this room that I entered  was a little  larger with two good sized beds with  some room to walk around so I asked Gabriel, the translator about it and he was confused too. He was confused because when he saw the initial SNG report of how much it would cost to add an additonal room for Francisco´s immediate family, he thought that the amount was much too large for a small additional room or to do the back storage area as an  enclosed room as we had thought about. Anyway, we found out that this room that I saw was actually Francisco´s dwelling and he lives here with his mom, Evelyn, Samy, and baby sister. So there are only 5 people living in this room that has the 2 beds.  It is right next to the area that Steve saw. The rest of the family  -cousins and aunts-live in the area that Steve saw. Will try to post photos and a video of this room.
