One man's trash is another child's treasure……….

The other day a huge truck came out to Mololoa and dumped a load of trash down the side of the mountain. Now this is nothing unusual. Trucks of trash will just pull up, back up and dump.
After the truck comes then the children come. They scurry down into the trash and begin collecting anything of use.
They all collect wood scraps, tin, concrete pieces; wire any thing that might be of use to their family.
You see the littlest children sitting and watching their families "pile of treasures" as the older ones make trips back and forth to their homes.



Wednesday I was out in the community and it was two days after a trash truck had come but there was still a group picking through the remains of the trash. They had their little hard hats and great big smiles.

I passed out some candy and we talked for a bit about how lucky we were that the trash truck had come and dumped all of this good stuff.
