The Dump

I visited the dump where many people live. They collect different recyclable or sell able items, as well as look for food to eat. They build little villages around the dump where most of the children stay during the day. I had the hardest time watching all the little kids walk around with all the broken glass and garbage on the ground because none of them wore shoes. They were some tough little kids in this village, and it felt a little like the a scene from The Lord of the Flies. It's kind of a survival of the fittest there and they played rough. We had to stop some of the kids from hitting each other with big rocks and sticks.
