Christopher, a licensed social worker since 2007, conducts home visits and case assessments. He encounters a family where the child, Clar, has been sick and the family is struggling financially.

Christopher shares his personal experience as a product of a broken family, which gives him insight into the struggles of children from similar backgrounds. He discusses the challenges faced by social workers who are often misunderstood and undervalued by the community they serve. Despite the hardships, Christopher finds purpose and satisfaction in his work, as he has been able to make a difference in the lives of the people he helps. He mentions the importance of recognizing the worth and dignity of every individual, even those living in squatters' areas. The narrative also touches on the difficulties social workers face, such as health issues due to exposure to harsh environments and the emotional toll of dealing with vulnerable populations.

The foundation's community development services include house-to-house visits to assess the effectiveness of their programs and the well-being of the children, particularly in terms of literacy and health, especially respiratory issues due to the dump site environment. The ultimate goal is to encourage children to attend school and improve their quality of life, despite the challenges of living in impoverished conditions.
