There are large segments of youth near a rubbish dumpsite (landfill) area where they live. They are youths who are unreached. After making some preliminary checks we found many of them loitering in the streets, gambling, playing basketball or other games for money, not having any purpose in life. No education, no job opportunities. An 18-year-old we spoke to says her dream is to work in Singapore as a domestic helper.
Many of them are Catholics, but the lack of education meant they may not know how to pray the 'Our Father' even in their own language. Our aim and goal is to befriend these youths and reach out to them with music, basic catechesis, home visits etc...
