The family lives in the Philippines. J is 44 years old and he is a farmer and sometimes works as a labourer. His wife R is 37 years old and she works as a clothes’ washer. They live with their 6 sons; O, 15 years old, M, 10 years old, K, 8 years old, L, 7 years old, Y, 6 years old, and N, 4 years old, and their 2 daughter X, 13 years old and U, 5 months old. All their children are students except for the youngest son N and daughter U. The family lives in a one-bedroom house, which they own and got built with the help of family and friends. They've been living here for the past 11 years. The house has no electricity and the toilet is outside but not shared with other households. They have a water source in their own yard that is safe to drink. The family buys all their food supplies from the market. They use wood for cooking in the kitchen. The family spends 8 hours a week collecting wood. Jimmy also spends 8 hours a week attending to home agricultural activities and 30 hours a week doing housework. The family hardly saves any money because most of it is spent on food. They’ve never been on vacation and the furthest they have ever been was Ormoc, in the Philippines. Their most valuable item in the house is the fishing net. The next big thing they plan to buy is a fishing boat. They hope that one day they will be able to fulfill their dream of buying a big house.
