We had a discussion with village leaders about putting trash systematically in our field visit. We gave them some dustbins to implement this. Our discussion focused on whether the villagers knew how to put trash systematically, and if we could get their permission to share our knowledge with the children of their village.
What is the most beautiful thing or place in your village? The question asked was to the young school children from Taungthaman Village.
The first drawing is of U Pain Bridge and the second one of Taung Tha Man Thitsar.Many children also drew pictures of their grandparents, Kyauk Taw Gyi Pagoda, Taung Tha Man Lake.
We asked them to explain their drawings - what they know about the particular place or thing - the dos and dont's.
“In the past, we would pack the trash in a big bag and threw it into the lake at night. When the flood would come, all of the trash would come back out with the water,” she said laughing.
We asked her then, “Did any of the elders (your parents, the governor of the quarter, etc.) say anything about it?"
She answered, “at that time, all people in the village did like that. We didn’t really care as other people did the same thing that I did.”
Some people were not clear how the plastic bucket was to be used. Actually, this bucket is for wet waste and the plastic bag should be put in it first before putting trash in.
They used the bucket in wrong way as shown in the photos. We reminded them again, “the basket made with palm raffia is for dry waste and the bucket is for wet." We encouraged them to use it the correct way.
In this picture, we can see that a person understood how to correctly the bucket. Most people did not have any problem in using the basket for dry waste. They understood that clearly. But we were facing problems in making people understand how to use the bucket for wet waste correctly. I was glad that this person had a clearer the idea what we had said. Fortunately many others also understood the right way to use the bucket eventually.
I want to maintain this bridge as our daily wage depends on this,” told to me (Khin Khin Nyein) by one of the women vendors. We observed that she was chewing the beetle leaves and we asked, “where do you spit the beetle juice?” She replied immediately, “[o]n the ground” with a shy laugh. I think the reason why she laughed was because she recognised that she herself did something which made the bridge dirty.
We spoke with the village leaders about putting trash systematically and we gave them some dustbins to implement segregation. We discussed with them to know their knowledge of putting trash systematically.
