00:00In our search, we were able to catch these children who were loitering in a private area.
00:30Because it was prohibited, they were arrested and sent away by the police.
00:37The children we are going to call Robert and Andoy are only 10 and 8 years old, but they are already busy with work.
00:54Robert made a boat that came from an old refrigerator.
01:08What are you doing in the sea?
01:11We are looking for a hammer.
01:12What is a hammer?
01:14Caps.
01:16Caps? What else?
01:18Iron.
01:20Iron?
01:21Yes.
01:22What else are you looking for?
01:24Wood.
01:25Wood? What are you going to do with the hammer?
01:27We are going to sell it.
01:29Sell it? How much is it? How many bags is that?
01:33Four.
01:34Four bags? How much does the hammer cost?
01:39One hundred.
01:40Ah, one hundred.
01:42Where do you spend that one hundred?
01:46We buy rice.
01:48Where do you buy rice?
01:52We don't have rice.
01:54You don't have rice?
01:56Robert is supposed to be in Grade 3, but instead of paper and pencil, he is holding styrofoam and trash.
02:05We talked to Robert and Andoy's mother, Sandra. Her name is not her real name.
02:10Her story is that the children prefer to walk instead of going to school.
02:17I really want to do that.
02:19He really doesn't want to.
02:21I told him, I will enroll you.
02:23He said, Mom, if you enroll me, you will be the one who will go to school.
02:26He doesn't want to go to school because he is a bully.
02:29It's better than watching them outside.
02:34It's better to watch them in the yard.
02:39Instead of playing outside.
02:42It's hot.
02:43They are jealous of the children who are working.
02:46That's why they are jealous.
02:47That's why they are like that.
02:49After that, they are being beaten.
02:53Sometimes, they don't even say goodbye.
02:55They just walk around.
03:00Robert and Andoy consider the floating plastics to be rich.
03:04It is also the reason why pollution is increasing in the ocean.
03:13There's a crocodile. What is that?
03:17The problem with the environment brought by the plastic waste
03:21gave way for the seeds to germinate early.
03:25Just like Robert and Andoy.
03:27Let's climb up here.
03:42I'm sorry.
03:51They go straight to the junk shop after picking up the garbage.
04:12One hundred twelve.
04:14Times it.
04:15Twelve kilos.
04:17How much is this?
04:19Is it yours?
04:20Okay.
04:21One hundred twelve.
04:36What do you usually eat here?
04:39Rice.
04:40And what kind of food?
04:43Soy sauce.
04:45Soy sauce?
04:47And rice?
04:50That's all you eat?
04:52You don't eat vegetables?
04:54We eat meat.
04:55Meat?
05:01Within a few hours of picking up the garbage,
05:04the only food they bought for today is soy sauce.
05:10That's a lot.
05:13Despite the way Robert and Andoy discard their food,
05:16their mother still hopes that one day
05:19they will be able to eat from the garbage.
05:40To be continued.
