It is a large rubbish dump in Manila. Consisting of over two million tonnes of waste, it has operated for more than 40 years and is known for decomposing at such high temperatures that it will catch fire, a fact from which the location derives its name. Indeed, fires at Smoky Mountain have caused many deaths. Smoky Mountain has a large squatter community, and it is estimated that 30,000 people live near the site, and make their living from picking through the rubbish at Smoky Mountain.
2. The City of Peace, Calcutta India
"I suddenly got dizzy. I felt exhausted and confused. I scanned the images in front of my eyes, but I had a hard time realizing what was happening. This was not the reality I knew. There was too much chaos and too much poverty all around" (from the book by:Anne-Marie M Pop). India has a great number of lepers. In order to help these people, Mother Teresa and the other sisters has established Shanti Nagar which is called The City of Peace where sick and healed lepers are cared for, learn a job, find work.
Those people in both place really trying to survive as hard as they can even though they have to go through a very 'superb' difficulties in life. Compare to you and I, what kind of living we have and how we fulfill it? Let us reflect our lives together. As for these people, as long as they still have the God breaths, they will always do the best for their living. Let us pray for them. May God blessing will always with them and protect them no matter how hard their life it is. They might be the poor among the others mankind but God's LOVE for them is above all the richest in this entire world.
Prayer is the best gift of love you can give anyone you love (blessed Teresa of Calccuta)
