Dump Play

Children can find joy anywhere. Today in the dump I watched one boy make a bow and arrow out of broom and some sticks, and saw a group of children playing a version of what I as a kid (Baldwin Junior High School) called "Murder Ball". Basically you throw a ball (the dump kids used a big cushion) at the other kids and try to hit them. When your hit your out of the game. Lots of laughs and fun times there. At one point I also saw 2 boys find the same broken Aquaman type toy action figure and play with it.

You have to love the joy for life that children have. Even when working in a garbage dump, they can find happiness, and play games.
