You get a lot of people like I described, often living in the most tiniest of homes made of the most inferior of materials, generally besides canals and railway lines. Or even in very notorious locals.Yet when you meet them they always act like they are far better off than others, and will often be helping their neighbours claiming them to be the one's in need. My husband befriended one such family and I was once invited to their place for lunch,where I met many families like the host. and I was touched beyond words. Their generosity and kindness was amazing as was their ambitions for their kids. They were determind that their future generations will get much better despite the hardships the parents face.
Likewise was this former family of beggars who lived near my home. Today most of the kids have grown to be quite successful people despite their humble beginnings, and they still remain very level headed and grateful.
