Him and is friend where looking for empty bottles that they would later sell for recycling.

I have never met a braver person than those kids.

They where introduce to me by a group of volunteer that would school them twice a week and provide basic medical care to them.

Dhaka Bangladesh 2015





As you can see in this picture, he had a wound on is foot and a volunteer put a bandage.












Gabtoli Bus Station






















That bottle still had water in it. As soon as she picked up someone told her it was his bottle but she could have it. She drank the whole bottle in one sip...

Please post more! I am 72. When I was a young I too collected bottles and old newspapers for some pocket change. There was no recycling back then but bottles and newspaper was recycled.
The faces of the world! I wish our politicians would view these...maybe there would be leas conflict in the world!

Great images and a mirror into life!

Thanks for sharing

During that trip I visited many market, ports and factory's. I could tell that it was like travelling back in time... I am no historian but this is how I envision the industrial revolution we had(I know it's a totally different era than yours don't worry)

The way they would work using man power instead of machines. They would recycle everything they could and reuse item as many times as possible... Where in north america today single use item and robotisation of work is king.

Ill share some more series to explain what I am saying.

I never give money.

Ill give people food, help or whatever they need but never money.

You have to understand that in a country like Bangladesh witch is 99% muslim, Beging for money is a big buisness.

So for most Bangladeshi giving money is like buying your way to paradise.

Witch sound ok if you think of poor people who get's helped.

But the problem is that attrocity are made to poor people so they can get more money out of them.

Here is an exemple... this man as got both eye burned by is ''Boss'' to increase is value...

There are many more exemple of horrible stories but maybe it's better if I stop here.
