As I was leaving my safe compound in the heart of Sosua I saw a young man approaching and could not help but notice he seemed somewhat out of place.
Nicely dressed and with an empty nap sack on his back he was searching through our garbage cans.
I have never seen this in the 3 years that I have lived here so I watched and circled back .
This young man found a discarded jar of sphagetti sauce with perhaps 1 or 2 teaspoons left.
There was also a discarded jar of peanut butter with about 2 tablespoons available.
I circled a couple of times and came back and gave him $RD100.
This is the first time I have ever seen a human being eat out of a garbage can in the DR !
