The have and have nots, the world is an unfair place.
Doing some research into helping the miners who dig for sulfur in an active Indonesian volcano. The idea would be to do a long term photo project, similar to the dump series and hand out donations along the way. Looking into getting respirators, filters, goggles, gloves and other PPE (personal protection equipment).
In the photos you see a CNN crew with full gas mask doing a story at the site, and the workers using only wet cloth to cover their mouths. The miners need proper protection, in the last 40 years, 71 workers have died digging for sulfur.
Note* Sent emails out to the GM and the Safety Specialist at the Petrochemical Plant I work security. I asked for donations of secondhand respirators, that I could clean and hand out in Indonesia. I could also buy donation PPE items in Indonesia but am unsure of what is available at what cost.
