Grant Proposal Subject

I think I will change my Sept grant proposal idea. I need to think about it some more yet but I think I would like to go to the Mai Sot garbage dump along the Thai/ Burma border and photograph the 200-300 people scavenging and living there. Here is a CNN/youtube story on the place:

If I can go there and work for 7 weeks with the help of the grant I think I can tell an important story as well as document the lives of these forgotten people.

I have started to work on my Burmese, Thank you in Burmese = Jay Zuu
