The Bill Gates Of Switzerland

摘要

Roberto laureano da rocha lives on the outskirts of Sao Paulo, Brazil in the impoverished Calmon Viana neighborhood, where most residents make a living as waste pickers, scrounging for aluminum cans and cardboard. Over the years, while hunting through trash, he was taunted and doused with water. He occasionally traded his "breadwinner"-the cart used to haul cans from the trash dump to the scrap dealer-for alcohol. When you're surrounded by garbage, he says through an interpreter, "you tend to think of yourself as part of that waste."
