Their family lives in a single-room house is made of iron sheets and timber with electricity. They don’t have water so they share washrooms with neighbors and pay for water. They cook with a kerosene stove. Arshavin shares a bed with his siblings. Arshavin works hard in school and currently attends Kabiria Grace Academy. Arshavin is very smart and scored 438 out of 500 on his selection interview exam.
