Families earn money by selling items to nearby junk shops.: by kurtzky, Views[1314]

         		 Justin and Kathlyn (not their real names) are both congenital heart disease patients and usual playmates.

         		 Patients playing with the toy MRI machine, a gift from one of the donors to familiarize the kids with medical equipment.

The smallest stones cost 25 Philippine Peso (PHP25.00) or approximately half a dollar (USD0.50) per sack and the bigger stones cost even lower.
