__Personal Thoughts and Opinions__ I feel sorry for the kids who have to go though living with trash day after day. From most of the pictures I could tell how poor Cario was, it shows how lucky we are. I think it's good that they opened up a school, even if it teaches you how to recycle plastic you are learning something. Earning less than $1 a day would drive me crazy, i would try and find a different job if that happened to me. The name Manshiyet Nasser Slum is a pretty good name for the city. It tells you a lot about it, the slum part tells you it has a lot of trash.
