We have also discovered that it is necessary to have a NICE and DIGNIFIED HOME.  We do not want homes to show off, but rather homes to simply live in.  In the past we lacked many resources, and our homes leaked and we could not live well.  Our children easily became ill.

It is certain that little by little, we have been improving our roofs by installing zinc roofing sheets, pouring cement floors so that we are not on just dirt, as well as building patios in front of our homes to dry coffee.  Still there are more necessary things and utilities that we are working for in order to make our homes more liveable, for example, 'lorena' stoves which conserve firewood and keep the amount of smoke in our kitchens down.  Also, the constuction of latrines and/or washrooms, and the construction of storage rooms for our tools and bags of harvested coffee so that we do not have to sleep amongst them.  It is for these reasons that we intend to struggle for more credit, so that each year we may work to improve our homes.
