Children of Hope
Taken in Baseco (Manila, Philippines)
August 2006 Baseco info: BASECO is an urban-poor community of more than 47,000 families occupying 52 hectares of landreclaimed from the Manila Bay. The land used to be owned by a now-closed shipbuilding firm of thesame name and has proclaimed by the national government for transfer to its residents. Even before the fire of January 2004, people at BASECO lived in squalid conditions. Most of theramshackle dwellings were built on stilts on swampy or slimy ground; toilet facilities were often a hole inthe floor, and high tides flooded the houses with the polluted waters of Manila Bay. The local government of Manila decided to turn the calamity into an opportunity. It joined hands with many organizations from the private sector to respond to the needs of the community in a more organizedand systematic way. It commissioned two non-government organizations to build a thousand homes each for the fire victims. One of them is Habitat for Humanity Philippines (HFHP). www.habitat.org/ap/pdf/basco_primer_2005_pdf.pdf+baseco&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd= 3]Read more here[/url] Noise and sharpness on some photos were intentional for added effect and drama.
