Sign Magnets and Project Cards

Got my truck magnets (2) and project cards (100) today. Pretty good quality for $81 CAD. Let’s see how long they last!!

The plan is to put the sign magnets on the doors of the 1 ton BEAST truck and hand out the cards to curious visitors.

Link: 2 More Found Children Photos

2 more found photos.

First is of 2 young children asking for their Solo (lollipop). Something I handed out on a nightly basis back in 2018.

Second pic is of a young child holding my hand. The boy in the background was given a pink plastic car, that was donated by a coworker friend from Canada. This little boy was carrying the toy car the next 5 days I visited the dump. It became a precious and important thing for him.

You can also see the same children in the attached video.

All part of THE FAMILIES OF THE DUMP donation and photo project. All Burmese refugees escaping persecution in their home country. All living life next to a garbage dump in Mae Sot Thailand.

Found Photos MY FATHEERS LAST DAYS

Got the com at work today. Doing a bit of editing for the web page. Found these two photos for the first time tonight. From MY FATHERS LAST DAYS series. Taken during dads last summer, probably July, 2014. It is always a good feeling to find photos, you did not know you had.
