This little girl was sitting on a wooden platform protected from the sun. Her mother had placed her there as she worked the nearby garbage. A coworker in Canada where I work as a guard, had donated some pink child boots. I gave the boots to this little girl. Most children in the dump do not look sick and weak, but this poor child definitely did. We also gave her a donated toy doll.
Note* Many of the children in the dump have shaved heads because of the lice problem.
