Today I went to a local market and bought 12 head flashlights at 100 baht each. The total cost was 1200 baht. These are hot items in the dump, much prized. A few days back when I was shooting at night I counted about 60 workers digging in 3 fresh mounds of garbage. The families need the head style lights to work in the dark at night. The 3 lights I handed out today were much appreciated.
The strange part of the purchase was that the woman who sold me the lights spoke better English than I do. She is Thai raised in America, was from LA and spoke English with no accent at all.
Note* I got a discount when I bought the head lamps because I bought in volume and also because it was for a good cause, the families working the dump,
