Resa Boenard grew up in Bantar Gebang, a landfill in the satellite city of Bekasi that is final destination for the majority of waste produced by Jakartans. The 108 hectare site receives some 6,000 tons of rubbish per day. Around 3,000 families live at Bantar Gebang, with most parents working as scavengers and most of their children destined to dropout of school and join them. If you’d like to learn more about the incredible work that Resa and her team are doing at The Kingdom of BGBJ, as well as how you can support them through volunteering and donations, please check out www.bgbj.org.
