I got some happy smiles for my money

Those people who make a living going through the trash before the trash truck arrives.  They make their living collecting recyclables.  I have seen a few actually earning a good living at it, but most barely survive.    Down the street from my house, a couple kids, don't think they were teenagers yet, where sorting their bounty.  Cardboard, paper, plastic, glass, etc.    It was evening, nearly dark.  The picture is not very good, but you get the idea I donated 200 baht and got some very happy smiles for my money
