Afternoon Session: Getting Ready!
The community we are visiting this afternoon is mostly comprised of domestic migrants who had previously settled in different areas of central Bangkok. After their eviction, they were resettled in the urban periphery. The Zero Baht Shop was started by a member of this community and is an example of grassroots social entrepreneurship. The Zero Baht Shop provides essential commodities and items for members of the community in exchange for recyclable waste items.
