Daily Lives of Children Growing Up in Garbage Dumps and Cemeteries Children living in garbage dumps and cemeteries attend the learning centers operated by DAREDEMO HERO. The scenery they have seen every day since birth is vastly different from that of children in Japan. Massive amounts of garbage brought in daily. Other people's bodies brought in with every funeral. Large numbers of flies and unsanitary living conditions. Most children rarely have the opportunity to go outside their local area, let alone ride on an airplane. This is precisely why the experience of seeing the world itself can be a catalyst for changing the children's lives.

These 3 children have continued to study at the learning center and persevere despite living in garbage dumps and cemeteries. Beautiful cityscapes. Cutting-edge science and technology. Encounters with people from all over the world. The experiences gained in Japan will extend not only to each child's life but also to their families and communities.
