These little kids are eating a hominy-type soup and green veggies. We were served first (with the head of the house), and then the kids and grandma ate. I was very impressed by their independence in eating. Even the smallest one served herself from the bowls in the middle of the table. And notice the two children on the left, they are wearing no pants. There were two others under age 2 who were also walking around pantless. They looked really cute lined up looking over the balcony, but the lack of hygiene is certainly bad for their health. These children walk around in dirt, mud, and who knows what else, barefooted and bare-bottomed. They were so dirty (and these ones lived in a nicer house). The living conditions make me wonder how many of them will survive to adulthood.
