When you are desperate to feed your family!
They call it "Living on a string of hope and a prayer"
Allow me to introduce you to another Papillon project that is now in the planning stages.
He has a family to feed, no one is employed and he is forced to scrounge in dustbins for food and recycables!
No one to help. Scrap food is a gift and he can sell the plastic and cans for a pittance to keep them alive.
A kind soul gives him a cigarette!
Here's another one loading his walker with scrap!
At least this guy doesn't make a mess!
On his way to sell the scrap!
All of the bags to be carried to the scrap buyers!
A day's work loaded onto a shopping trolley!
Some of the guys are in a haggard state!
She is moving to another home in the bush!
They are not criminals and all that they are doing is to try to stay alive. They earn very little and most of the time they are flat broke.
Imagine having unemployed sons and daughters with little children and you have to feed them every day? What will you do?
Especially if there are no jobs available?
Crime is not an option as you are an honest person?
This is where Papillon comes in, as we simply cannot allow people to suffer like this.
An interesting meeting took place today that might result in good news for these struggling souls.
A feeding scheme is not an option, as this will create dependency. A much better option is help them to grow their own food and to sell the surplus. Many benefits will result for them most notably dignity restoration and self generation.
We will keep you informed about our progress to turn this project into a realty.
