in a stark contrast with our thread about middle class here is an article about how the poorest of the poor live:
Cuando la miseria se vuelve costumbre - DiarioLibre.com
this is a story of a family: 31 year old man, 42 year old woman and a 2 year old boy (woman's grandson) who all live under the bridge in SD after their barrio house was destroyed after a nearby river flooded the area. they use a small "stream" nearby as a toilet and they live partially from helping someone sell veggies and partially from collecting and selling plastic gallon bottles.
the child has been abandoned by his mother who got pregnant at 17. she has a new man but he already has children and having a small boy live with them would be a "problem".
in the video the man pretty much describes their daily life, showing were they sleep, defecate and how they live.
