Who/What is pictured? Described in this picture is a Brazilian Shantytown featured in an article titled "Volunteer Work in Brazil". This picture is demonstrating the need for public assistance in these types of impoverished communities. Pictured are stilted houses in a crowded development with apparent dirty living conditions. Seen are children in windows of houses with dilapated roofs and housing structures.

When is the picutre taken? Circa 2006.

Where is the picture taken? An undisclosed location in Brazil.

We researched topics that included impoverished communities, poor living and natural disasters. After asking for a clue and given the word "Brazil", we researched Brazil poor communities which lead us to the picture.
