Pipe Village

We went back to the Pipe Village last week. For those of you who don’t know from last years blog and pictures, here’s some of my post from November 10, 2005



"Yesterday we visited the Pipe Village, near our base. What’s the “Pipe Village” you may ask. I did. It’s called “The Pipe Village” because they live in pipes. They live in pipes. Gulp.

So we went out to this village where a community of Indians actually live in big old broken sewer pipes. The village is located next to a pipe factory and the pipes that these people live in (I will try to post some pics) are left over from the factory. The men of the village labor at the pipe factory on a contract basis. They may make $2 for 10 to 12 hours of hard work. Even these people live in such utter poverty, I was told they were happy to have the opportunity to work. (This is not just the white conservative in me, it is the truth J) "





We’ll we went back, this time to show a version of The Jesus Film in their native tongue of Telegue. And afterwards they served us dinner. Just another example of the extreme hospitality from those with practically nothing.
