:11:03
I've joined the Charity Meals
because I was unemployed.

:11:07
I still am but I expect
to start on a trial job soon

:11:10
and meanwhile, I'd rather
help people than do nothing,

:11:15
help people in dire straits.
:11:17
I'm a single mother.
:11:20
I get food from the Red Cross
and the Charity Meals.

:11:25
When I see all this go to waste
:11:28
and that some people
have nothing to eat,

:11:31
it's really disgraceful.
:11:35
On that day
they collected almost 7 00 lbs.

:11:39
At least that's something.
:11:50
A little later,
almost on the same spot,

:11:53
we saw a man approaching.
:11:57
I went over to him and asked him
:12:01
how much he thought there was.
:12:05
Almost a ton if you add
all the mounds together,

:12:10
a ton of potatoes wasted.
:12:13
Same thing with cauliflowers,
:12:16
fruit and vegetables
in other regions,

:12:19
but here it's potato country,
and we take what we find.

:12:24
We're better off working
in the fields than shoplifting.

:12:29
It's the same for all of us,
I'm not alone.

:12:32
We get by as best we can.
:12:35
We do potatoes,
we look in trash cans,

:12:38
that keeps me going for now.
:12:41
It's a hard life, that's all.
:12:43
The year 2K is upon us, great, heh?
:12:51
OK, I'm on my way with my 7 0 lbs,
:12:54
and there are several tons left,
which could be picked,

:12:58
but people don't know
where to come to. There you are.
