This is Buboy, a 4 year old scavenger at "Smokey Mountain". He managed to collect some plastic spoons and cups and planned to sell for few cents.
But his older brother, Alvin stole them from him! Buboy not only cried but wailed endlessly for Alvin to return his collection. But Alvin sold it for 3 pesos.
Buboy is just one of the many children living in these dumpsites sifting through garbage and exchange their collection in junk shops for a few pesos. You think they will buy a small toy or a candy for the small change they earned, but no... they rather help their families buy the essential needs to survive like rice and dried fish. And to many of these young children, they were forced by their parents to sift through garbage and come home with some cash rather sending them to school.
We can all make a difference in young their lives. Please help us with this Mission Not So Impossible!
