See You Tomorrow!

As I was leaving the dump today one of the dump boys yelled out “See you tomorrow!” in English. The local Sky Blue School teaches the children a number of languages one is English. Many of the children know a few English words and phrases. Much of my efforts to communicate in the dump involves speaking Burmese along with Thai followed by English. Sometimes I feel like the United Nations trying to understand and also get my point across.

It was nice to hear the boy wanted to see me tomorrow. I feel an obligation, maybe that is the wrong word, a responsibility to make the pictures and the donations on a daily basis.

As I type this it is now tomorrow, better go to bed today is another important day at the dump.
