PAMAG & RCUD: HOPE ON WHEELS FOR SCAVENGER

Salvador O. Ferrer, resident of San Carlos City, Pangasinan, was chosen by PAMAG-Rotary Club Uptown Dagupan 2000 to receive a tribike as part of its livelihood project.  He earns a livelihood by scavenging through garbage and selling what can be recycled. Among the scavengers, he is the only one without a tribike and oftentimes he rents it to be able to haul bulky loads a long distance. Most of the scavengers are earning more than him because they have their own tribike and motorcycles.  Because of those limitations he has the least capacity to earn enough to be able to afford his own tribike. Thus providing him with a tribike will increase his productivity and his income substantially. 

Everyone in the community has a role to play and something to contribute. The scavengers help the community by going through garbage and getting recyclables while earning a living. This means less garbage in the landfill. This benefits the environment and the people. A win for everyone!

This PAMAG project was undertaken in honor of Dr Vic Bautista, former president of PAMAG.
