| 6. The most rewarding part of my trip was getting to know about PCF meeting the passionate duo, Jane (founder of PCF) and Lynie (my local guide from PCF). I saw how a small group of people make such huge personal sacrifices in order to bring love and hope to a community that was discarded and unwanted by many. There are many other good efforts of PCF that can be found on their website. I will share some that I experience first hand. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| 7. As understood by all NGOs, the key to eradicating poverty is education. PCF understand this well and that is why every morning, they will drive their van into Smokey Mountain, ferry children to their school for free education, provide free nutritious food and best of all, in order to deter desperate parents from taking their children out from school for wastes picking, PCF give out rewards in terms of rice and can food that will “compensate” the parents for the opportunity cost of their children in school. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| 8. As I got to see the children both in school and in the dumpsite, I realise by giving them the opportunity to be clean and attend school give them a senses of hope and basic human dignity. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| 9. On top of educating the children, PCF also place an emphasis on training the teenagers and adults with skills that will help them to earn a living. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| 11. PCF is building a new compound which will allow them to house more children, in fact, they have a dream to bring in all the children in the dumpsite and eradicate the poverty chain that the children are trapped in. A dream that I believe we should support till fulfillment. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
