Carol and John Thompson are the founders of the Masiphumele Corporation, a non-profit that conducts building and educational projects in a squatter village near Cape Town, South Africa. Living conditions are very harsh, unemployment is above 80-percent, and most of the people live in shacks made of metal, wood and cardboard. Carol and John tell host John Walters about the successes of their work and the great challenges that lie ahead.
