Three Things I need to Mention

1. Because of the economic downturn, there are more people searching through the garbage dumps of Jakarta looking for recyclables than in good times, making it harder for the poorest of the poor to feed themselves.

2. Some government assistance is available for these poorest of the poor, but an ID card is necessary in order to apply for it. After buying food for the family, most do not have money left over to apply for an ID card.

3. There is probably some fear in making application, too. Fear of being forced out of the city or into some institution.
