Today I was privileged to get a tour of the garbage dump Tondo, home of 1.5 million of Manila’s residents. It was one of the most humbling and disturbing experiences I’ve ever had and I still haven’t processed my experience enough to blog about it yet. For now, the pictures will have to do it justice. So for today, I want to start by showing you some of the faces of the beautiful children that call this trash dump home.
I did get all of my photos up on Smugmug and I must say that they are some of the finest that I’ve ever shot. They’re also graphic and disturbing, but I do think I did a good job of capturing the reality of this place.
oh, my goodness.
My heavens, Sarah.
There are no words.
Yes, those are amazing pictures.
But… such incredible poverty. Heartbreaking. Disturbing. Profound.
I just cannot fathom…
Yeah, I’m really in a funk. Having trouble pulling out of it. We are SOOO blessed, aren’t we?
Unreal…wow.
Wow, thank you!
Wow. So sad and heartbreaking for these kids……
