Group 6 (Elizabeth, Mia, Karen) Camp Picture Search



This image shows residents and flats in a Brazilian shanty town. It was taken in 2006-2007. The image reveals a "lack of basic infrastructure" in third world slums. The image accompanies an article about the increase of international volunteers.

Initially we thought this image showed an impoverished third world slum. Elizabeth said it reminded her of a "Save the Children" PSA, and Mia suggested the image might represent evidence of a natural disaster.

We had difficulty locating the image but eventually found it on Google Images.
