OutPost 22:
Untitled: Lions' Dreams |
| A special project by Atelier Rakyat* for The Soup Kitchen Project** |
| 18 August - 5 September 2012 |
| |
| BACKGROUND |
Mdm S, her Malaysian husband and 5 children live in a 1-room flat and are recipients of Monday dinners from The Soup Kitchen Project. Her children are still in school and 4 of them suffer from chronic illnesses such as epilepsy, thalassemia, bronchitis and leukemia. Trips to the polyclinic and hospital are almost a monthly affair and the doctor has said her youngest child will only have 2 more years to live. Even so, they were coping with the difficulties when she and her husband were earning about $1,500 a month. Things became worse when Mdm S herself became ill earlier this year and was given a 1-year MC. Her husband is the only one currently working (in a building maintenance job) and they are struggling to make ends meet.
