Inside the main home, where 24 Filipino and Chinese workers sleep and eat, are eight rooms set aside for sleeping, one combined dining/eating room, and one bathroom (with just one toilet).

The workers keep the house as clean and tidy as possible under the circumstances, but there is something ineffably sad about the barren walls and dark hallways, and the ranks of mattresses and double-bunks, some with small piles of personal possessions next to them.

The day I met them the workers were proud to announce they finally had a flat-screen television. One for 24 people.

Next to the main house is a locked shed where I was told the supervisor lived; he had his own toilet. Behind the main house is a small brick structure that I assume houses the remaining five workers.
