Family A lives in a slum area located near a creek with stagnant water. The father is unemployed while
the mother, who is expected to give birth to her eleventh offspring, is working as a secondary school
teacher in their community. The eldest son of the family is diagnosed to have asthma while the second
child, who is a high school graduate, has been terminated from his job in a factory. Apparently, the
parents are financially incapable to support the family need. This made the children suffer from
malnutrition and some communicable diseases. Despite these problems, the family still have a very
positive outlook in life. Every Sunday, they will be found attending the Sunday service in their local
church.
