Imagine you wake up, eat breakfast (sometimes) then head off to work.
Your commute to work isn’t far, it’s only 100 feet in front of you.
You work in any and every condition.
From blazing heat to torrential downpours.
You pay $15 a month to work where you are at.
You get paid by the day and the max is $1.
You don’t get paid by person but by family.
There can be a family of 5 working but you are only going to make $1 max.
You work from sun up to sun down.
There are about 15+ other families that work with you.
You work as much as you can to support your family.
You work 7 days a week.
Most of your children are malnourished because you can’t afford
to feed them a full nutritious meal.
The children receive little to no education because they can’t afford to send them.
Your job is working with rocks. Cutting down big boulders to small rocks.
Below are the pictures of the Rock Village
(You break boulders down into small rocks)
(This is your house, and the big ceramic pot is what holds their water)
(This is their stove)
(This is the water hole where they use it to cook and shower with)
(These are some of the adults and kids that live and work here)
(Every friday our contact goes out cooks food and builds relationships with these people.)
(This is some of my teammates helping out cook)
