The irony of things where some local residents do not benefit from the fruits of industrialization as seen by the crude cooking implement.
About 100 meters from this place is a multi-million dollar industrial plant producing finest quality oleo-chemicals. These chemicals are used in the production of various household and personal care products, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, food emulsifiers, additives ans agricultural chemicals for exports.
This is the other side of modern technology, wood fueled stove made of scrap bars, while on the other side of the street is an ultra modern production plant with the latest technological innovation.
Oh nice. However very nice cocerage
What do you mean by cocerage my friend?
Sorry I want to right coverage. I mean picture
Oh thanks that’s only from my phone’s cam and cannot get good shots, glad you still like it.
You welcome always dear Grandma
Thank you Florel, for bringing reality to so many who have not the faintest idea, Living in South-Africa, I am of course too painfully aware of life’s inhumanity to man. Only one gift, divides the haves from the have not’s, it is called GRACE. We surely don’t own it and it is as fragile as life itself, I mean, what is life, but a tiny space between breaths? The breath you have just exhaled and the hope of taking the next one.
The Graces we receive from heaven varies. In whatever form we have it we consider it a blessing. I hope those who are endowed with more shall share all these entrusted blessings to others.
Perhaps they’ve just shown the best and most natural way to cook…
actually some things can be done without the sophisticated tools
It’s all that they had. It’s the only option available to them.
It can be a little sad but at least they can cook …
I’d only would worry when there is rain(or other reasons) and they can’t cook …
If they’re given the tools, will they have enough supplies to use them? Say gas and electricity? I guess it takes more than just one change for them. But changes should start soon…
That’s another issue that they have to face especially the rising cost of LPG and electricity.
The view is same that you cooking something in the forest
You are right, this must happen only in the forests.
Everything has a downside
You are right, this must happen only in the forests.
That is life’s realities. One is given much while others even nothing.
some go thirsty, others drown…
When I see areas like this, it makes me wish that I were a billionaire. That way I could help people in need like this.
I wish the same. But very ironic that these billionaires do Not wish to do that.
Very ironic and selfish, but then again they have never felt what it feels like to be broke.
But I don’t believe they are perfectly happy with all the material wealth. There is more to it.
We have little areas like this in Chicago
So, this sight is not confined to developing economies.
Hi Thomas, wasn’t it in Chicago that that quite ordinary fellow started building tiny roadside trailers from plywood posters, for the homeless, a few winters ago? I saw a very touching You Tube video of this. Regards, Andre’
I have not heard anything about it, but I will look it up
I have yet to see one of those in Chicago. Maybe in the suburbs.
Sorry Thomas I don’t know why I thought it was Chicago?? Perhaps someone who reads this comment in Chicago, will pick up the wager, sorry, here is the link to the video: https://youtu.be/zHPzjgpJ058 Regards, Andre.
This is very cool. If I had money, I would have many of these built for the homeless in our city. Looks more presentable than tents scattered throughout the city.
What an irony! Yet, that can be common in life. Sad to see some keep all the wealth to themselves and have no thought for others.
Social injustice is everywhere indeed,
I categorically say that they are remiss on this department, the CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility). They even have issues with the government related to taxes.
Waooo nice picture. We have also this type of area here
This is common sight in the barrios.
This is such a sad reality.
Symbol of poverty. Look at the other side it has to stand lying on a piece of cut wood.
Amazing how life is like this in many countries.
Yet we do not belong to the underdeveloped countries.
It’s really terrible for people who live in the area
But they are already used to it. It has become a part of their daily life.
That’s really ironic! There should be a kind of corporate social responsibility for the surrounding community that reaches to certain regions. 100 m is right before the eyes!
I do not think the company has any sense of corporate responsibility, Maybe there is but not in accordance with what is really needed in the community. Maybe they just sponsor scholarships for their own people.
