Tough day yesterday, in some ways. Jan was invited to visit a school... but not just any school. These kids and their families all live and work at the rubbish dump. This is about as low as it can get and still be functional, and it messes with the way my western head functions...
But in the end we all had lots of fun, and made new friends, and these kids are awesome. Expect some more on this. We can't just leave it like this.
I cannot figure out a way for the photos to tell this story with the depth it needs... but here's a text example. When we walked from the classroom (A disused corner in a used furniture store) back to where the kids live (jump down and cross four lanes of traffic, and then walk down into the centre of the dump where huts, shacks and the occasional building can be found) we were warned. No photos of the kids outside. Why? Because their parents would be worried that we were involved in the human traffic trade. That we would be harvesting these kids! :-(
