Pinheiro, Brazil, Dec 11 – <\/i>An illegal garbage dump seems an unlikely setting for a holiday story, but when a photojournalist captured 12-year-old Gabriel Silva pulling a Christmas tree from a fetid mountain of trash, the image quickly went viral.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Silva lives with his mother and two older brothers in a small mud hut next to the dump in the town of Pinheiro, in northeastern Brazil.<\/p>\n

It is a disturbing landscape of rotting waste and discarded plastic, where dozens of trash-pickers compete for scraps of food with vultures, cats, dogs and cattle.<\/p>\n

Silva was with his mother on November 8, digging through the garbage as he does most days after school, when he unearthed a blue plastic bag with a small artificial Christmas tree inside.<\/p>\n

“I had never had a Christmas tree before,” he says.<\/p>\n

His face has an inscrutable expression in the picture that photographer Joao Paulo Guimaraes captured of that moment, as if the shirtless young trash-picker were unsure what to make of this find: it intrigued the child in him, but would do nothing to feed his family.<\/p>\n

But then the image went viral on social networks, and the little plastic tree turned into an unexpected Christmas present.<\/p>\n

Silva and his family’s dirt-floor hut now has a giant, sparkling Christmas tree inside — not the one from the dump, but a gift from a benefactor who was moved by the photograph.<\/p>\n

It is just one of a flood of donations the family has received.<\/p>\n

“We’ve gotten clothes, mattresses, baskets of food. Thank God, we’ll be able to get by fine for Christmas this year,” says Silva’s mother, 45-year-old Maria Francisca Silva.<\/p>\n

There has also been money, thanks to online collections — a windfall for Maria Francisca, who earns around 600 reais ($105) a month selling recyclable materials from the dump.<\/p>\n

The family hopes to soon fulfill their dream of building an actual house.<\/p>\n

They have already realized one longtime wish, thanks to an initial donation of 500 reais: install a hydraulic pump to bring up water from their well, replacing the rope and bucket they used to use.<\/p>\n

But Silva’s favorite gift is a bicycle he received from a teacher at his school.<\/p>\n

– ‘Like the apocalypse’ –<\/p>\n

Silva spends much of his free time at the dump with his mother.<\/p>\n

“I prefer to bring him with me. If I let him run around in the street, he could get into drugs, do things he’s not supposed to,” she says.<\/p>\n

“He’s a good boy. He always helps me.”<\/p>\n

The episode has turned Silva into a local celebrity.<\/p>\n

“Every day, people want to take my picture, ask me things,” he says.<\/p>\n

Guimaraes, a freelance photographer who collaborates with AFP, lives in the neighboring state of Para.<\/p>\n

He got the idea to shoot pictures at the dump after seeing a video of residents there running after a garbage truck carrying waste from a supermarket.<\/p>\n

“It was just crazy. There were probably 50 people chasing it,” says Pinheiro’s public defender, Eurico Arruda, who shot the video.<\/p>\n

“That dump is like something out of the apocalypse. There are fires and smoke everywhere, vultures, dogs. It’s the bottom rung of destitute poverty.”<\/p>\n

Arruda, who has set up a cooperative to help the trash-pickers defend their rights, says he hopes the Christmas tree picture will raise awareness about the plight of people like the Silvas.<\/p>\n

The local government has already promised monthly welfare payments of 100 reais ($18) for the trash-pickers, and vowed to build a legal dump next year that complies with sanitation regulations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
