Steem SEA Contest (Part 40th): Betterlife| Act of Kindness to a Garbage Collector @jes88
It was early in the afternoon while I am busy preparing my things going to church, I heard my mother talking to an unknown voice. They talk like shouting far from each other, and I started to realize where the voice come from. It was a voice of an old woman from our backyard at home where our garbages is located.
I asked my mother who is she referring to, to freely get the plastic bottles and cans at the back. She is the regular garbage collector whom my mom is talking to me last week. She is in her early 50s and the only job she is capable to is to collect plastics and cans to sell in the junkshop. I asked her why she still do garbage collecting in her age, she answered "to provide family needs".
Because of poverty, people find ways just to survive as long as it follows law and never do anything to disobey it. Being a garbage collector is also a help in our community because they collect garbages that can be sold. I asked her how much she earn in every sack of plastic and cans she collected. It was paid by kilo.
- 1 kilo of plastics cost 4.00
- 1 kilo of tin cans cost 6.00
A sack of her collections depends on every area she went, sometimes 10 kilos per sack a day or more.
While I am talking to her, my father is also preparing something for her, as a thanksgiving for collecting our garbage at home.
1kilo of rice 50.00
2 noodles pack 20.00
1 can of sardines 20.00
1 can of beefloaf 35.00
A total of 125.00 Philippine peso or approximaly 3$ US dollars.
My aunt @sweetspicy gave her a snacks since it is time for afternoon snack.
She was almost done and ready to go. As I look at her, I realized that she is still happy and contented in her life. She looks determined and always ready to do hardwork for her family. She left satisfied and life to her must go on. She may stamp her feet to any land and meet different people but her goal in life will remain the same, she needs to survive for her family.
This has been @jes88 greeting everyone a happy day.
Great job ate @jes88😊
