John Banda, 11, a scavenger at a dump site in the Chunga neighborhood of Lusaka, Zambia’s capital city, helps his sick mother search for sacks that are sold and repackaged for farmers and charcoal burners. John says he’s been coming to the dump site with his mother since he was a baby. He finds personal items, as well, including toys and clothes, and the bag he now wears on his back.
