More and more people have no choice but to live in motels they too depend on the kindness of others. The United States is the worlds biggest economy so surely people there must be able to afford a place to live. Unfortunately the reality is very different nost year alone average rents nationwide rose by almost three percent and that has clear consequences over the past few years the number of those spending more than half their income on housing has tripled and they now total just over eleven million. More and more families are simply unable to afford the steep rents. So whats the alternative. For that matter that overeating cura is eleven years old and lives with her grandmother in a motel. Kiras grandmother is helping her with her homework that you go to do in dreams that you hope to achieve or like you a composition about goals and drains the fifty four year old likes the topic she wants to do everything to ensure that her granddaughter has a Bright Future and a better life far away from the rundown motel sometimes i miss the bracket is going to condo. And you will hear the neighbors going back and forth knocking on was and still. They need to stand your own space in that kind of feels it feels like a smaller but still be a classroom care and her grandmother had to move out of their previous home because of mold so they came here belongings are piled up everywhere and they dont get clean sheets regularly despite paying twelve hundred dollars a month most of to raises money from her widow and disability pension goes toward rent putting something aside to save for a rental deposit for example is not possible. Dont go calling yourself. Theres the most important if you got a crack crack because perry is happening is there our own kids dont go out and get drugged up and drug get drunk in because when you come down how far you have the situation still. There are countless motels like this across the United States theyre not really for business travelers or even to risk but places like this can protect people who still have a bit of money from homelessness Good Business for those running the motels but a vicious cycle for the people who live here. Donna howard wants to help people like to raise up here in brunswick in the state of georgia there are hardly any affordable apartments for many here an even bigger problem is the lack of savings they still require them to have a first want rent Security Deposit which is usually the same as the first watch rent all their utilities that are required they dont have to have a deposit for that as well so if youre making minimum wage when you can afford to do all that because its all about front cost. So thats why the mojo living is so rampant right now because you know that is required when you live in my jail together with her friend maria donna has set up a Nonprofit Organization in their free time the two women distribute food to people who have the tough choice between paying rent or finding food. All the handouts come from donations including from restaurants. The partners have been doing this for almost two years before that they had no idea how many people lived permanently in motels. Almost twenty percent of People Living in the area are below the poverty line many of them do have jobs but still in barely enough to survive you get it right there is a pretty obvious that there are guards there and they are angry their wings are just you know that. Donna and maria know all too well that someone who works in the car washes off and paid only in tears and lives in fear of losing even this roof over their heads. If we grow up with this place it is just so sad and a lot had that that they just want to talk to someone that doesnt live here someone thats kind of outside of their parameters but for the most part we feel they just need food that is the biggest thing that they always take its. Also here in brunswick near an old factory is a small motel run is a family business. Motel owner kemal patel knows that his thirteen rooms are not exactly luxury as he also wants to make money but in spite of a rent of two hundred dollars a week patel tries to maintain a certain standard he even washes the shower curtains regulate the say. Nice work or not. But you dont so that youre not willing to eat. If im not willing to stay in one of my own rooms what makes you think somebody else. Many of patels tenants have been here for years. To moco hughes is a waitress who lives at the motel with her partner and two stepchildren when hughes became unemployed she discovered she didnt have enough money to pay rent from the first day of delayed payment there were a mind to freeze even though ive done every. Things that i was supposed to do i didnt have the kids at the early age i have work to finish all i did everything that i was supposed to do and i cant be any kind of help and it bothers me that these girls that are here that are just making babies left and when i get everything in they dont work for anything but everything is handed to them to mark a stepson eagle high proudly shows us the smile you see his exercise book trade his father lays carpet for a living in spite of being a two income family they still dont have enough money to rent their own apartment for dinner the family is having salad and for a table as always they use the bed to go america and drink too much. Complaining about it really wont help. Just taking a church i would do better. Down a tray hopes that by the beginning of next year at the latest the family will be able to move out until then the only and a motel will be home the only one the family can afford. A woman in sweden is also dedicated to helping others this weeks global living room is in my. Welcome to my house and. My name is jenny i am about seventeen psychotherapists i live in my house here in mulga together we go along and. They both came to sweden as refugees three years ago. The hope of my house is like times. Which reminds me of the tibetan tonka clouts. When i was traveling in the world the world was very friendly and welcoming to me i used to live in south korea for a while and my friend made these little people. And i think they definitely belong in my house. I love carpets because of the bathrooms and the colors especially to swamp carpet for you know one of the guys in my house his sister she makes her for. Coming back to sweden i mean i would like to give back some of what the world beat me when i was for me this is like coming to the only living together like this. In one point of view a compromise but i treat the world the way i believe its the worlds only future all right thank you for visiting. The next report focuses on helping others to iran is a Muslim Country that strictly enforce his religious symbols those court breaking any of them can be punished. They include homosexuality its strictly forbidden and punishable by death its illegal to keep a dog in your apartment all one in public women are prohibited from riding a bike down seems like the tango are off limits says prostitution. Officials come down heavily on those who contravene the laws. Irans prisons are bursting at the seams around two hundred thirty thousand people a currently in jail there and former prisoners are often ostracized by society. And this is where we slept. Im sure that in an hour or two someone will show up and take shelter under this tarp for the night. But. For the ice. Slept in was circumstances. We put plastic bags like this over our heads for cover when it rained at night yeah sometimes wed lie on the old blankets i thought as you number one both them. We asked my pseud whether anyone tried to help him you know theres. No i never had any way to go. And my society rejects drug addicts and when everyone in your family despises you and society does too. He lived here on the outskirts of the city of mashad in eastern iran for two years masood turned to crime to support his drug habit and ended up in jail normally a disgrace that you never recover from in iran but mehsud was lucky he got a second chance. Having a criminal record was no impediment to getting a job at this company. The workers here process and package all of us. Must sued griefs the founder of the company nabil. That almost everyone on the staff is either a former drug addict a woman who works as a prostitute or a single mother all people ostracized by iranian society. This scheme has enabled them to begin a new life. Only raise a knobby says who are we to judge them. When he visits prisons to recruit his workers he brings the masses of hope. I think that is and got him up i say come on well be waiting for you when youre released from jail youll have a job with us i dont understand hell for example someone like hadi could be put behind bars for thirteen years hes the guy standing right behind you where behind you. Are you hadid know him i. Am so thankful to you heidi says. That you know. How do you now manages the companys finances the bosses and trusted him with a big responsibility. To. The employees spend their breaks together not be wants the staff whom he refers to as his children to get used to a regular routine and to look out for one another. He also wants to offer hope to those in seemingly hopeless situations. Of the assault something we bought fire crackers and threw them at a butchers shop the butcher came out and started a fight. I defended myself i hit him in the face but the firecracker went off in my hand and tore it to shreds. As well as the face of the butcher he died. But i was sentenced to death im supposed to be executed. If. Im so tired for the past four years i could have been executed at any time i almost dont care anymore if the sentence is appealed again i just want clarity. And the reason the hobby is taking us to where he goes when he feels drained by all the tragedy he sees in the lives of his workers on a story you know. Yet. He says the growing poverty in his country fills him with despair. Poverty has an enormous power poverty can even deaden the sacred feelings a mother has driving her to sell her child for a little bit of money that. This that the city i know so many of them who were forced to do this. To sell a baby you really have to be in a terrible situation to do that. In a country that should be wealthy thanks to its oil and gas reserves the middle class seems to be disappearing the number of people who now live below the poverty line in iran is growing by the day at the same time a small elite is growing richer. And so on the matter of the most valuable thing a country has is its people. Not the tourist sites or the demands of ballots. Because its people who either protect and preserve or destroy all that a country has for example people can improve the environment but they can also destroy it if this. Is a nabi says he knows first hand how it feels to be poor as a child he had to sell newspapers on the street to help support his family if he didnt sell them all his mother punished him by forcing him to read the unsold newspapers today hes grateful to her knowledge as wealthy says. His hero is one of the greatest persian poets for dosey who was buried here nearly a thousand years ago. Nabil recites one of his favorite poems. That unsolved a c. C i checked my chums and they kept betting parse. The translation i may have suffered all those years but i left something behind for the iranians. And this week in global ideas were off to the island of grenada a hot and humid country keeping cool can be a challenge. Lies in the atlantic just north of south america. Outside people cool off in the water and inside that conditioning comes to the rescue but the old machines are bad for the environment of. Travel to grenada she spoke to people battling working on alternatives. Its six thirty in the morning here in grenada its blisteringly hot even early in the day. Those who can head to the big to cool off. Thanks import to its caribbean climate grenada has become a popular holiday destination. The increase in tourism has provided an economic boost to the island state and liebling more people to afford certain luxuries like air conditioning a c. Its a luxury product so i see that something are usually purchased when you have a high income so we see actually now people having this disposable income that they can spend on not just the refrigerator but also now in a sea and with that theres a growing demand also in the whole region here in the world but also in grenada and for us its very important that this is done in a clean way older air conditioning units use hydrofluoric carbons Greenhouse Gases that are bad for the environment theyre now being replaced by a new system. Its Energy Efficient its Climate Friendly meaning that its using natural ephedra and which dont harm the environment so they have a very very very low Global Warming potential. The new refrigerant is propane a highly flammable gas there are strict safety regulations governing its use its a new challenge for technicians and greneda. Hope all of you had a nice weekend so at this workshop participants learn about the new system the training is organized by local professionals with the support of the German Corporation for International Cooperation with him on the pipes at the final curtain ive missed out there arent really any risks associated with normal use the only risks are when technicians come into contact with it but when theres a problem and they need to make a repair they need to know how to deal with the refrigerant must be given encouragement on. Every step as discussed in detail. These pipes are being assembled to transport the flammable propane they need to be totally leak proof. Just like when a bike to breaks you can see right away in the water bath if a welded joint is leaking because it emits tiny bubbles. Thats the leakage just researching. It straight thats a couple of hundred grams a year the fridge and its leaking out of the system yeah but this this is doesnt want to go its important to keep the leakage rates in the cooling facilities as low as possible a good weld is one hundred percent leak proof and we dont lose any refrigeration with flammable refrigerants of course its very important because every leak represents a danger of flammable mixture of gases escaping and flooding about its going to. Grenada has a population of around one hundred thousand the country encompasses one main island and several smaller ones despite its relatively small area getting from a to b. Isnt always easy. Technician curtis. James is on his way to a job on the island of kerry are cool its a two and a half hour journey by boat hes well known in the cooling system business a man in demand for as i said to send me to college a lot of skill. And i chose from him but when i got there i saw most of my friends. Head in the sand enough for refrigeration so i just joined i just gave one to him. And up to the day im doing the same you know same skill no regrets and im enjoying it yeah. Who has a population of just six thousand unsurprisingly theres no one here who knows how to work the propane systems curtis has come to install the new system in a hospital. The installation process is the same but because theyll be transporting propane in the future the pipes need to be checked so if they look if we take all gauges to if there was a leak out of thin theres no going back down to zero. When curtis was training he could take his time now he has to work faster so its a lot more walk now because of the safety precautions. But its what im enjoying it. While some are busy installing others check the systems already in place at the moment the question is how much more Energy Efficient are the new models. The results after the first few weeks come as a surprise. We figured out that basically just in that small period we figured out that the new unit was using only a third of the electricity that the old unit was using which of course result in a third of the electricity bill that might encourage more people to invest in a new unit and by doing so theyll also be doing their bit for the environment. And now its time for Something Sweet this weeks global snack comes from senegal. A fishing village on the coast of senegal near the city of roofie sc. Here its the women who sell the catch. Here.
