Shooting for Oxfam

This week we have done some shooting for Oxfam. We've visited a few union groups, who are lobbying for better wages for the Nike and Adidas factory workers. At the moment, they earn about 900,000 Rp a month, which is about $113, and it doesn't even meet their basic living costs - they need double that amount just to survive.
After shooting at the first office, we had something called Gado Gado for lunch. It's satay sauce with different vegetables, rice and prawn crackers - very nice!

Wherever we go, we get photos taken of us, whether we want to or not, so it was no surprise when we had to put down our cameras and pose for a photo with the union members.

We're shooting for Oxfam again today (Saturday) - not sure exactly where or what, but maybe a rally? Maybe not though - we just rock up and then find out what's going on - Indonesian style.
