The
Garbage children of Cebu
The misery of those who bring up their
children on the garbage tips is shocking. The sole ray of hope on this
burning Phillipine garbage tip is the German priest, Heinz Kulüke. He
is, in fact, a university professor of philosophy -- however his
encounters with the garbage people have changed his life. He works
tirelessly to help the garbage people, as well as the girls in Cebu's
red light district. |
