The poorest families in Arad live in all kinds of places. I've no idea why this concrete hut on the edge of a disused railway line was originally built but an enterprising family found it empty and moved in. Of course such families have no running water in their homes or access to sanitation but they are glad to have a place, any place that they can call home. 
Their neighbours, further along the railway line, live in this hut built from a mixture of materials with their 6 children. In winter its a pretty dismal place but the parents say they are grateful to God for providing them with even this most basic of homes. It makes our western affluent lives seem sinful.
