Making Pancakes on the Man Made Mountain

Arriving at the site, David our guide turned and told us that he used to drive down into the site about 400 ft. Now we drive up about the same distance, as the ground has been built up nearly 700 ft. over the past few years. Exiting the vehicle we are met with a strong scent that hits you like a ton of bricks. Our first task is to take our 2 jugs of water and go around giving all the workers something fresh to drink. Our attention is turned towards a fight between a few workers that are competing for something valuable that has just been brought in from the city workers. This isn't an uncommon occurence from what we are told. Our kitchen crew quickly begins to prepare the breakfast/lunch of pancakes and yogourt. We have the locals form a line at the mobile feeding centre and start serving. I take several requests at the front of the line for extra plates, more glasses of water, trying to judge what requests are valid and which are not. After feeding everyone at the top of the hill, we then proceed down, feeding all the children we come across until everything, down to the last pancake and last bit of yogourt is gone. This was without a doubt the area with the most "need" that we visited, in my opinion.
