Generally in the West we live in such a sterile environment.
We clean it with anti-bacterial, germ killing, disease fighting chemicals.
Dirt is the enemy and cleanliness is next to godliness.
The above video is about children whose lives revolve around what is thrown away.
People who exist on food scraped off plates at the Hilton.
Whose special treat are salvaged packets of sugar from airlines.
Whose highlight of the day is when the dump truck arrives.
Because what we see as rubbish, they see as dinner.
They live in unimaginable filth.
Dead and rotting animals.
Medical waste.
Should we continue to treat these children as we treat our rubbish?
Smelly.
Dirty.
Worthless.
Or should we treat them as who they are?
Precious.
Wanted.
Beloved.
There are currently Pick a Pocket members working in Addis. The whole project could use your prayer!
The book is beautiful and is available to buy online.
