TRASH DUMP - EAST LONDON, S.A.


David L. Meyer

As I visited this trash dump site in East London, South Africa my heart was once again broken by the unspeakable level of poverty that I saw. This man spends hours collecting trash that will net him very little money. However, he does it to survive. Sickness, disease and hunger are rampant here. The good news is we launched a new feeding program here in this dump in partnership with Umthombo, a ministry that helps alleviate the pain and hunger of street children. By God’s grace, we won’t have to see the next generation live in this poverty and hopelessness.
