three children, suffers rheumatism due to the humidity. "It is not possible
to live like this any more, I do not know what we would do without the help
of Habitat, VivaCell and volunteers", Piruza said. "Soon we will complete
our own half-built house and will meet our eldest son in our own house after
he returnd from military service
