We visited Silvertown and the Pikitup truck was there,doing their weekly garbage pick up. I spoke to Elin a little about the sanitation problems in Sjwetla and took some pictures to show the few portaloos,which was used for about 84 families.For Silvertown residents however sanitation seemed to be the least of their problems. They were promised by the housing department to be moved to proper housing within a year. They were more frustrated with living in their shacks for over 3 years.
We then went to the creche in Sjwetla.The principal at the school explained what the children knew about water and the river.We then walked randomly through narrow alley-ways to meet people who lived by the banks of the river and people who were victims of flooding.
