If it’s one multi-use room, it’s one space surrounded by sides made of concrete blocks, bamboo, mud, cardboard, plastic tarps, etc. Within that space, all living activity occurs—for example, eating, sleeping, conversation and relaxation, homework, TV viewing, anything one would do in their home. Some daily activities might occur outside those walls, ie cooking, laundry, bathing, eliminating. The bed if there is one, and there may only be one, is in there, and it might double as a place to sit, eat, do homework, etc. Any additional furniture would be inside the walls, and storage could be inside or outside those walls. The one multi use room may be free standing or it could be part of a larger building. Within the urban Kolkata setting where your sponsored child lives it is likely a room in a large old multi-story building. Once upon a time, when CI assisted the children and families with their basic needs, sponsors got a very good feel for what destitute children and families actually deal with on a daily basis, through their articles and photos but I can see how it would now be somewhat obscure for sponsors to envision.
