this particular gallery is a collection of snapshots from children whose parents are scavengers in jakarta, indonesia. they lived in a dumpster village surrounded by acres of dumps.

children are children. no matter how poverty stricken their life is, they can still laugh and play like any other more fortunate children.

their village is now gone. the land has been used for another purpose, thus their parents are forced to move to another place. so now all of them are scattered. some moved back to their home village in the country, some insist on staying in jakarta.
