Plastic

When winter hits northern India and Nepal, the nights go below freezing.  Homeless families and kids who live in the slums can be seen burning plastic and whatever else they can find from about 3 pm and into the night.  The plastic fumes cause all sorts of respiratory problems.  Their homes have no heat source and all they want is a good light’s sleep.  Blankets and winter coats do the job.  This little girl was so happy when we gave her a jacket.
