This is very famous place where Burmese are living and working for their daily food.All the rubbish from Mae Sot city come here and Burmese who are living in this area look for bottles and pice of plastic etc and resell here.A young thai man buys these.They can can earn 50 to 60 Bath(less then 2 usd) everyday.The smell is very terrible!
You can see a hut where Burmese used to take a rest while they are working.
Here is a place where a Burmese lives and try to survive his life by working in the rubbish.For him is better place then inside Burma where there is no enough food and hard repression by the militry regime
Please look! How they can take a rest and relex here?The air polution is undescribale terrible but Burmese can not think about it.What they have to think about now is their daily food!
They have to work very hard to earn a few money but what they have to face daily life problem is extremly horrible.I wish the militry regime will see these photos. If they would have macy they could think something for their lives.
They live here very poorly and working very hard but this is not their country and This area is 15 minutes away located north of Mae Sot-Thailand
Here they collect plastic bottles and resell for their daily food!Burma becomes extremly poor?Why the country becomes so poor?
Working here is better then inside Burma and they have hope to get food.
This young girl 14 years old comes from Taung Zun,Burma and she works everyday here.Normally she must go to school in this age but she can not.Her life is very terrible and she is young but I am afraid that she will find another easy job which can earn more money. If she is not educated she will think easy way to get money. Education is very important to pretect our society.
She told me that her uncle is living here in this rubbish house or rubbish box.
Very interesting is that even they are living very poor situation but they can still keep smiling!
Mama and children.I talked with them.I am very very sad because they speak burmese and I realize that they are Burmese.I want to cry again and again.Where is justice?
This little boy is crying and asking ....where is justice?
He shouts very loud again Where is Justice?
Justice ignores me and injustice is taking place now in Burma.
Where is justice? Where is justice? Where is justice?
She looks so innocent but she must suffer the result of bad political system in Burma.She has no idea what regime is doing and lying.What she expects for her life is education and food.
Here I can see the most poorest people!
They suggest me to come and see the place where they live and this is on the way.
She is old but her life is very hard.She is working in this heap of rubbish for her daily life.
This little girl comes here to help her old mother but this place is not for innocent child.
To go the houses where Burmese are living we have to cross this heap of rubbish.You can not imagine how terrible smell here is.
Burmese are living behind this horrible heap of rubbish to protect themselves from the danger of Thai police who hate terrible smell.Thai police never come this area.
While I was crossing this horrible heap of rubbish I saw children who are colleting plastic and talked with them but I had to close my nose while I was talking.
Here we see!Paradise of Burmese!
They have more security and enough food behind the heap of rubbish then inside Burma.
I made research of poor Burmese to highlight the real situation.
We are telling militry regime what people wish to! They need freedom,justice and peace right now!
They are living behind the hill of rubbish and what they have their homes are only rubbish but for them is food for their daily life.
I met a lot of children and I shared some money with them so that they can eat enough food for one day.
They have now school!
A stayed a few hours here but I can imagine what Burma will be.The people said the life here in this side is much better then other side.
I am sorry that I was born in poor family but I have expection for the future.
Difficulty is the best chance if we know how to use it!
If you have a lemon,make a lemonade. Don´t complain why lemon so sour is do juice with suger.Use it difficulty as a great chance!
In their face you can see that they hope their future.Who will show their way?Let´s them educate then they will find their own way.
Look his face! He is too sad for his life. If we can not give any hope their lives are totally in the dark.
Sorry I was born in poor family but I have still hope for the best.
I am so sad that miliry regime has no idea how we are living here.
Children are facing with great difficulties!
He looks so nice and totally innocent!
She looks so sad maybe because the militry regime has no brain.
Mother and baby behind the mountain of rubbish
Whatever it is they will find the ways to play!
I am so sad that the militry government promised to change but never keep it.
Where is future?
We hope for the future!
I wish to be free Burma very soon so that we can live and eat well.
Oh terrible world where is justice!
China and Russia vetoed to go on great hunger of Burmese!
What a pity! China and Russia wish to sell more weapons. No care of justice and peace of Burmese.
China and Russia not yet understood Human Rights and Justice. We have to educate them together with these children.
If government does not support or help its own people then we have to help each other.
The hope is still in the darkness.
They hope the best life.
I want to share with poor and I wish others too so that we can create a beautiful society.
As human beings they should not live like this but they can not change.
Oh look so nice! but in the eye look very sad. How can this baby know real situations?
They work in the rubbish and they live in the rubbish. So they are called rubbish people.
He does not care what the world is going on.His life is peaceful!
He knows how to play but he does not know the world yet. If he becomes old,he will realize that the world has no justice at the moment.Maybe in the future.
He knows how to eat but he does not know how to get it.
This child looking at something that is his hope.
Really?There is no hope for us?
They collect some of rubbish for their food.
His surrounding is only rubbish. If he is going on in this area, he will understand only about rubbish
They have still alter for their hope! That is only one outlet at the moment.
They are enjoing their food but not good nutrition.
So isolated houses!
The life of this child and children from generals let´s compare how defferent they are.
This boy is one year old but he may not know where he is now.
This little boy eating and thinking why we are here.
The food what he now eating is the best food then inside Burma.
Aww! Aww life! Life!
Anyway he must eat good or bad.The most improtant is to be alive tomorrow.
Hello! do you know where justice is? I am sorry we have no justice at the moment because United Nations not united yet. How? Russia and China dictators group and US,UK and France democracy group but unfortunately all five countries have no justice.
Oh no! United Nations means must be united! Sorry thoery is good but very difficult practical way but UN now is only a place of power showroom. Burma is a member of UN but no human rights yet.That´s why they have to live like this.
How they poor are and United Nations nothing to do with it right? No,UN has no power to solve Burmese problem that´s why they are suffering.
They don´t care UN or other only they want enough food and good shelter.
She has no food and good shelter but she has enough babies.
They have still alter for their hope! Buddha is not saviour just as a guide and walk on yourself! don´t rely on others!
Hello! we want to go back home! Where is our home?
Oh no! the world where is my hope?
Oh! no the world where is my future?
Oh! no the world where is truth?
Oh! no the world where is law?
Oh! no the world! where is peace?
Oh! no the world where is freedom?
Oh! no the world where is justice?
As long as no peace in Burma they can not go back home.
They live here to have a better life! Do they really have?
Here are the houses of Rubbish people.
Here they have more hope and security then its own country. Why? The rebellions occupied our country.
I hope their lives will be green soon!
Here you can see the most terrible place because of horrible smell.
She has no right to live and work here but there is no other place to live.Her own country has no security anymore.
Even the smell is so terrible but they have children to feed !
Amongst rubbish they built a house to take a rest. Air polution is also their daily food.
Here you can see another life.
She is young but she has two children and She works here. Her husband left her.She is struggling to over come heap of problems with her children.
She comes from Phaen,Karen State,Burma.I told her not to stay there because of terrible smell but she has no other place.One of child has terrible disease.They need emergency help now!
I asked this woman why they are living here.She told me there is no other choice.They don´t like to live here.
You can see clearly how they are living.The smell is totally horrible.
Let´s help them materially or mentally.They need help now.
Let´s save their lives! Do you think WHO will do this?I don´t think so.
She is young but she knows how to love her babies but the militry regime does not know how to love its own people.
She can treat her children very well but not Junta.
The view of heap of rubbish area.
The young man from Karen state. He works here. He is just smiling that means he does not care of any problems.
He must learn in this age but he has no chance going to school.
This baby is just enjoying.
This little girl is searching valuable things in the rubbish.
After they worked they take a rest here.
Here is another family.Around 20 families are living and working here.
When I took photos first they did not want to allow me but later they did.
You can see another view of rubbish people.
She is still searching precious things but how can she find?
I told her to stand in front of truck and I gave her some money and said good bye all rebbish people. More info www.dhammavadi.com or e-mail me mettamail@gmail.com
