Oblivious to their surroundings, the children born to scavenge force themselves to carry on with their lives just like any other child would, playing, loving, crying or laughing.
Since they are just children and they were born into that world, they all believe that this is what the world and life is about.Their childhoods however, are far from privileged; as soon as they are able, they will have to work hard by scavenging for plastic bottles, metal scraps or any other rests thrown away by the more privileged part
of society .
Their meals will consist mainly of rice and the only proteins at their reach will come from an occasional frog, rat ,lizard or snake caught by them or their parents.
These children love, and feel , just like any child, and are even capable topray to the Buddha before a small shrine nailed to one of the only trees of the dumpsite.
It is only later, when they become teenagers and learn on how the rest of the human society discriminates them, that they will know what their fate was meant to be.
