My home

Here I am watching TV with my family on our front porch. My wife, Vim, is 23 and my son, Vikas, is two and a half. A couple of neighbour children have joined us.

This used to be an old army barracks, but the army left and the government turned it into free housing for people with leprosy. We have one room and this porch.

Up until now we haven't paid for electricity, but last month a government man came and said we would have to pay. Before, we would not have been able to pay for it, but now we can, thanks to the extra money we are earning from the fields and fish farm started with FAO's help.
