Day 11 - Rubbish Dump

This morning was going to be a very moving day for some of us, as Kevin, rachel and Debs had found out about a man called David who came to Cambodia to retire. david visited a rubish dump and saw how children were scaverging around looking for food and things to sell. He then out of the kindness of his heart, went and to feed the children. So if people want to help these children they give money and all the money goes towards buying the food for the children at the rubbish dump.

So Today we were going with him to Feed The Children, he picked us up in his truck that has a banner accross it saying "Feed The Children". David takes two paramedics with him when he visites the dump so that if they are injured they can provide the medical care needed. David and his paramedics are all volenteers they do it just because they want to.

We gave $150 to spend on food, which we bought from this total mad and crazy market, 400 loaves of bread, 800 bananas, 400 mangos, and 800 oranges!

Then we drove to the rubish dump with us and all the food in the back of the truck.

As soon as the children saw us coming they chased the truck, while we were parking, we had to keep them back or they would have got killed. In the end David and some of us jumped out and held them back, I had never seen anything like it in my life.

Then we told the children to form two lines, one for girls another for boys. We had to make sure they were two meters away from the truck while handing out the food else they would push and get squashed by the truck.

Flight called more coming soon!!
