Description
This really old woman was just sitting on a bamboo bed outside her house she was trying to talk to up but we couldn't understand her unfortunately.

One thing that we did while we were in the slums is basic first aid and sanitary needs. One thing that is not too uncommon in Thailand is worms. We clipped the fingernails of all of the children and anyone who wanted it because in the things that they might handle they might get the worm eggs in their fingernails and then eat with their fingers or bite their fingernails and get worms. Because they don't have much money they might not be able to get medication for this and might even die from something so simple and curable.

A group of people go to the slums everyday, a different slum each day, with rice and milk for the kids. There are six slums that they go to each week in Pattaya.
