TBI Invisible Heroes of Everyday: The ‘Dirty Women’ Who Keep Our Cities Clean
Meet the humble street cleaners who get to work in the wee hours of the morning to make the city clean before it wakes up. You're surely in for many surprises!
Presenting the second part of our new series – TBI Invisible Heroes of Everyday, where you get a glimpse into the lives of the people who make our lives easier every single day of the year, but whose presence we barely acknowledge. Earlier, we met the paperboy. Today, let’s meet the humble street sweeper and take the effort to know a little more about her.
Feel free to share with us your thoughts and feelings as you meet our invisible heroes one by one, then go ahead and invite the ones in your own neighbourhood over chai (or coffee, if that’s what your morning cup is filled with) and share with us your own experiences of meeting them. This is our chance to show our appreciation for what they do and tell them a heartfelt THANK YOU!
