This is a guest post from Carol Levy of Pilot Light Foundation. When I first visited the Batwa in the spring of 2011, I was shocked to see their living conditions. The homes they were living in were tiny and not water tight, made of sticks, leaves and various other items of trash. Some of them were lucky enough to use mud. They were living crammed onto small plots of land with very little food growing and almost no farm animals. The hygiene was clearly an issue.
