Garbage
Historically, the city of Zahedan has been built on garbage. GARBAGE is the biggest problem there, it is really hard to imagine. You dig 10 meters and you see layers of plastic bags. Is this sad or what?
What do I have to do with garbage in Zahedan? Well, we(the NGO which I have been the head of Mission for) have been building garbage collection points in the slum areas of Zahedan where there are poor Baluchis and Afghan refugees. This painted garbage collection points have changed the image of the neighborhood. They look fantastic. Kids in fact love to come to drop the garbage there! We initiated something and I am thinking that we will see these all over the city in a year. Well, let’s hope so!
