On one of our visits to one of the squatter communities I noticed a very small amount of some much better looking housing (probably about 20 dwellings amongst thousands of ramshackle shelters). I was informed that these had been built in co-operation with the government and a non-government agency. They cost about 500 pesos a month to rent (about £7) - but that is still far too much for the many squatters who try to make a living by scavenging and fail to find enough to eat. But a sign of hope?...
