Pictures from the garbage dump
A few of us walking into the dump. We walked into a lot of mysterious black sludge. The bags are bags of garbage, of course.
Some of the houses. The houses are mostly shacks and straw huts. They actually pay rent to live in the dump. It's like 35 cents a month or something, which is a lot when you're only making like 2 dollars a month.
One of the houses here is a "testing house," but I didn't get shown which one. Human trafficers take girls from the dump and rape them, to see which girls scream the least. Then they kidnap the girls (or promise them jobs) then sell them into prostitution in Thailand and the red light district of Cambodia. They tell their parents (if they have any...) that she's getting some great job in Cambodia, and that she'll send money. Sometimes they come back and sometimes they just go missing. We started a scholarship program for the girls that do come back, so they can do something better.
Speaking of, none of the kids have an education, and the boys rape the girls a lot, not knowing that it's wrong to do so.
Yeahh they have TV. I don't know what to say about this, lol.
The families live off vegetation that grows in the dump, along with food given to them by the charity I was with. However, it's not enough, so they eat mostly rats. All of the kids in the dump got tested, and they all have worms. They got it from the food and from living in filth without any shoes.
I'm...there if you can see me.
I'm in the middle. That chick next to me was all like "hey Kim look fake bones!" and I replied "ummmmm those aren't fake..." lol
I feel kind of bad, because this guy on the left was being super moved and all like "What has become of my homeland???? WHYY" and I was like EH and I didn't really care as much because I'm a heartless bitch.
At around 5pm, the dump truck comes and puts the new garbage down, and everyone runs to it to pick up new things to sell/recycle. The kids work all day doing this. The adults also, but a lot of them spend all day in town looking for work. Most of the parents don't let the kids go to school, so after we build the school, we are supplementing each family for what the child usually makes a day, so the kids can attend the school.
Some of the kids. A lot of the people who live at the dump are actually from Cambodia (the area is near the Cambodian border).
