PICTURES:  BONDING WITH FLIES
 
 
Try to look closely at the photo. Notice that these children are working hard under the extreme heat of the sun, unprotected in a garbage dump infested with flies. If you really look closely, you will surely identify the black spots are disease carrying flies. As we witnessed it, we saw the garbage that they scavenge are filled with white maggots(baby flies) everywhere. This is how our kids survive the day. Sad but true. =(

These children are only some of our students in our Kariton Klasrum project in now four areas around town. These kids live by way of scavenging trash and garbage. They are unschooled because of poverty and complicated reasons. Your comments can generate love and support to our volunteers. We need to go on with lifted spirits and focused vision.

This is very sad indeed. How could the government let this thing happen? It's miserable living in that condition.
Re: dynamicteens 429 days ago
It truly is miserable. Without prejudice and only based on our experiences, the government worsens the situation with corruption of the funds and aid coming from others.

Absolutely, Heart wrenching, my prayer for these children: Lord Jesus hear our prayers, Almighty and Sovereign Lord Elohim, who created Heaven and Earth and all that is in them, hear these our prayers and supplications, for these children, observe these children’s needs today for your miracles of healing and for food, water and shelter, in their lives, give them a sense of your Almighty presence, grant these the petitions of our hearts through your signs, wonders and miracles. This we pray through your son’s name Jesus Christ our Lord. Thank you Lord Christ for the answering of our prayers and supplications, for food, water, shelter and healing for these children, Praise be to your Lord Christ and our Heavenly Father Jehovah-Rapha, in Jesus name Amen and Amen, Alleluia, Alleluia!

Re: dynamicteens 429 days ago
Thanks for bestowing blessings upon these children. All we can say is amen to that Jane.

Unbelievable photograph.
Re: dynamicteens 429 days ago
If we haven't shot it ourselves, and haven't seen the situation, it will be unbeilievable for us too. But that's how it is here.
Re: lexlaurent 426 days ago
Yes, exactly anthonyFL...unbelievable photograph...there's no point in using more words, the photo speaks for herself

this is so unjust! they are only kids and they shouldn't be doing this.
Re: dynamicteens 426 days ago
What can we do? Our government should help but they seem to do nothing.

THIS IS SO SAD IT HURT MY HEART KNOWING SOME KIDS KNOW THE MEANING OF HARD WORK (SWEAT,BLOO,TEARS) AND OTHER KIDS HAVE IT SO EASY
Re: dynamicteens 426 days ago
You are so right Scoobster. Knowing that many kids take things for granted and there are much more who work hard just to have those.

I am convinced that there will be a brighter day for these kids some day. Life is not meant to be lived this way and justice WILL prevail. When good people ignore these things, then it's a worser evil than the unjust people who do this to others. Keep hoping, praying, and working to make this world better.
Re: dynamicteens 426 days ago
Venus, thanks for your optimism and for your faith. We claim that answer in time for these kids and for the many others who suffer like this around the world.

I can't believe it! Yuccky! I pity these children.
Re: dynamicteens 426 days ago
We pity more those who are in power and let kids suffer like this.

"I am your Creator. You were in my care even before you were born"
--Isaiah 44:2

So, I believe that God really loves this kids and He will never forsake them. God only uses them to open our mind and heart on what's really happening in the world and what will be happen if we will not be responsible for everything and also to everybody.
I felt so sad but let's face the reality that these children are
doing these just to survive. I'll pray for these kids..
Re: dynamicteens 419 days ago
