Poor-ban Living: The functions of five senses in Payatas

My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

SENSE OF HEARING. A young girl on the street of Payatas—a slum area in urban Quezon City—hears the bell of an incoming dump truck. This is a signal of an arrival of a

meals for the day. Families earn money by selling items to nearby junk shops.
