0:00:02 > 0:00:07This programme contains some strong language.

0:00:07 > 0:00:09Wilbur Ramirez is the London binman who spent ten days working on the

0:00:09 > 0:00:11streets of Jakarta alongside some of the poorest people on the planet...

0:00:11 > 0:00:15There's rats absolutely everywhere!

0:00:15 > 0:00:17..swapping his air-conditioned truck

0:00:17 > 0:00:20for a handcart in the sweltering heat.

0:00:20 > 0:00:23I don't even think it's coming up to midday yet.

0:00:23 > 0:00:25The sun here is...boiling.

0:00:25 > 0:00:29And in a city drowning in its own waste...

0:00:29 > 0:00:32I mean, there's actual islands out there...

0:00:32 > 0:00:33..of crap.

0:00:33 > 0:00:37..he forged a powerful friendship with Indonesian binman Imam Saafi.

0:00:37 > 0:00:38- Brother.- Yeah.

0:00:40 > 0:00:43Now he's heading back on an emotional journey...

0:00:43 > 0:00:46Aaargh! HE LAUGHS

0:00:46 > 0:00:48..and among the binmen of Guntur District...

0:00:48 > 0:00:50There you go sir, have a good one.

0:00:50 > 0:00:51Thank you very much.

0:00:51 > 0:00:54..Wilbur is a man on a mission.

0:01:21 > 0:01:24When Wilbur Ramirez travelled 7,000 miles

0:01:24 > 0:01:26to work as a binman in Jakarta,

0:01:26 > 0:01:29it was an experience that changed his life.

0:01:30 > 0:01:34When Wilbur arrived home, I think he was very shell-shocked.

0:01:34 > 0:01:38He's very much jolly Wilbur, always happy, very loud,

0:01:38 > 0:01:43always laughing, but underneath it all, he's very sensitive.

0:01:43 > 0:01:44And I know that.

0:01:44 > 0:01:49Witnessing an Indonesian family's struggle to survive in poverty

0:01:49 > 0:01:51was as tough as anything he's had to do.

0:01:52 > 0:01:56It humbled me. It quietened me down a bit.

0:01:56 > 0:01:58I see things in a different light.

0:01:58 > 0:02:00When he returned,

0:02:00 > 0:02:04Wilbur realised he couldn't abandon his new friend Imam.

0:02:05 > 0:02:06Imam will always be part of my life.

0:02:06 > 0:02:09I just thought to myself, "I've got to help him out,

0:02:09 > 0:02:12"I've got to raise as much money as possible for Imam."

0:02:12 > 0:02:16Soon Wilbur's going back to Jakarta with the money he's raised

0:02:16 > 0:02:20for the next chapter of a story that started 18 months ago.

0:02:27 > 0:02:29Hi-ho, off to work we go.

0:02:29 > 0:02:31Back then as he set out on his daily round,

0:02:31 > 0:02:34Wilbur had no idea of what lay ahead.

0:02:34 > 0:02:35Yeah, baby, yeah!

0:02:39 > 0:02:43I think binmen are the most important thing London's got,

0:02:43 > 0:02:46besides the firemen and the rest of the emergency services.

0:02:46 > 0:02:53London's binmen remove more than 55,000 tons of rubbish every day.

0:02:53 > 0:02:54Wilbur has been clearing bins

0:02:54 > 0:02:57from the streets of Hammersmith and Fulham for five years.

0:02:58 > 0:03:02His round covers more than 1,600 houses and takes him

0:03:02 > 0:03:06from council estates to some of the swankiest addresses in the city.

0:03:08 > 0:03:10It is a hard graft.

0:03:10 > 0:03:14You can't come here and think that you're not going to graft.

0:03:14 > 0:03:17Everyone here has to sort their rubbish

0:03:17 > 0:03:19and put the recycling in separate bags.

0:03:19 > 0:03:21The rules are strict.

0:03:21 > 0:03:24The black bags are your household rubbish, right?

0:03:24 > 0:03:27The orange bags are supposed to be just for recycling.

0:03:27 > 0:03:30And for people who don't play ball,

0:03:30 > 0:03:33Wilbur's got the might of the council behind him.

0:03:33 > 0:03:36We've come to this house, it's got a load of cardboard in front.

0:03:36 > 0:03:38They should really have bound it up.

0:03:38 > 0:03:40I really don't have to take it if it's like that.

0:03:40 > 0:03:42I'm going to get Terry to take a picture of it.

0:03:42 > 0:03:46If it happens again, then they could get reprimanded.

0:03:46 > 0:03:50But the real villain in the life of a binman is the fly-tipper.

0:03:51 > 0:03:54They just dump it there and expect us to take it.

0:03:54 > 0:03:57Yeah, I don't like fly-tippers at all, really.

0:03:57 > 0:04:01They don't have any consideration for anyone. They just cause havoc.

0:04:01 > 0:04:03Tell 'em it's a fly-tip, and what do they want us to do with it?

0:04:06 > 0:04:08This is where I love you and leave you, son.

0:04:08 > 0:04:10- See you in the morning, lads. - Yeah, see you later, mate.

0:04:10 > 0:04:12My job is one of the best jobs in the world.

0:04:12 > 0:04:15You've got a lot of time. You've got the whole day to yourself.

0:04:16 > 0:04:19With his working day usually over by one o'clock,

0:04:19 > 0:04:22Wilbur gets to spend plenty of time with his wife Nikki,

0:04:22 > 0:04:25and the kids Olivia, Maya and Marlon.

0:04:25 > 0:04:27What are you washing, darling?

0:04:27 > 0:04:29Yay! Are you washing the lamb?

0:04:29 > 0:04:33That's Daddy's girl. Aren't you? Are you Daddy's girl?

0:04:33 > 0:04:34- Yeah.- Yeah.

0:04:34 > 0:04:36Family is everything.

0:04:36 > 0:04:40Knowing that I'm providing for my family,

0:04:40 > 0:04:42that's what gets me up in the morning.

0:04:42 > 0:04:45I'm not ashamed in any way that my old man's a dustman.

0:04:45 > 0:04:48I'm proud that he does such a dirty job

0:04:48 > 0:04:50and provides for the family.

0:04:50 > 0:04:53Now Wilbur's heading off to another capital city,

0:04:53 > 0:04:557,000 miles away.

0:04:56 > 0:04:58I'm really proud that he is going.

0:04:58 > 0:05:01I'm just thinking, what am I going to cook every night for two weeks?

0:05:01 > 0:05:06Thai food I've had, but I don't know if that's Indonesia or not.

0:05:06 > 0:05:10I'm really baffled of where Indonesia is.

0:05:10 > 0:05:11To me, it could be in Timbuktu.

0:05:13 > 0:05:16But he's got one final engagement before he goes.

0:05:16 > 0:05:21Wilbur's playing a farewell gig with his band for family and friends.

0:05:21 > 0:05:23'I've never been that far away.

0:05:23 > 0:05:25'It's halfway across the world.

0:05:25 > 0:05:29'"What have I let myself in for?" was going through my mind right now.'

0:05:29 > 0:05:31I'm looking forward to it.

0:05:32 > 0:05:34Happy days.

0:05:36 > 0:05:37# Yeah! #

0:05:37 > 0:05:41APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

0:05:42 > 0:05:46Jakarta - the capital of Indonesia.

0:05:49 > 0:05:51Home to 28 million people and growing.

0:05:56 > 0:05:58It's a city of extremes.

0:05:58 > 0:06:00In the shadow of gleaming skyscrapers,

0:06:00 > 0:06:02millions live in poverty.

0:06:04 > 0:06:08With an exploding population creating more and more rubbish,

0:06:08 > 0:06:10the authorities struggle to cope.

0:06:12 > 0:06:15On the sweltering streets, open tips fester,

0:06:15 > 0:06:17and the rivers are choking with filth.

0:06:20 > 0:06:24This modern city still depends on just 3,000 impoverished binmen

0:06:24 > 0:06:28who scrape a desperate living from Jakarta's rubbish.

0:06:33 > 0:06:36Good morning, Jakarta...

0:06:37 > 0:06:39For the next ten days,

0:06:39 > 0:06:43Wilbur will be working with 28-year-old Imam Saafi,

0:06:43 > 0:06:46an Indonesian binman, and his family.

0:06:46 > 0:06:49- Imam?- Yes. - Ah, nice to meet you, man.

0:06:49 > 0:06:51- Imam.- Nice to meet you. Wilbur.- Wilbur.- OK?

0:06:53 > 0:06:57- Children! Nice to meet you, my lovely.- Hi.- Hello, gorgeous!

0:06:57 > 0:06:59- Hello!- Hello.- Hello!

0:06:59 > 0:07:03We are going to be working together, you and me.

0:07:03 > 0:07:05Yeah, yeah, yeah.

0:07:06 > 0:07:09About five years. How long have you been doing it?

0:07:10 > 0:07:12Oh, so, same.

0:07:12 > 0:07:15How many people do you work with?

0:07:17 > 0:07:18Just you?!

0:07:20 > 0:07:21Bye-bye!

0:07:24 > 0:07:27It's time for Wilbur to see where Imam works.

0:07:30 > 0:07:32IMAM SPEAKS INDONESIAN

0:07:37 > 0:07:38What's all that?

0:07:41 > 0:07:43This is a tip? That's where you throw everything?

0:07:45 > 0:07:46OK.

0:07:47 > 0:07:50Got to say, the stench round here is enough to wake up the dead.

0:07:55 > 0:07:56The amount of flies.

0:07:56 > 0:07:58It's like, "Wow."

0:08:02 > 0:08:06If Wilbur is expecting anything like his high-tech truck,

0:08:06 > 0:08:07he's in for a surprise.

0:08:09 > 0:08:10This is yours?!

0:08:10 > 0:08:14HE LAUGHS

0:08:14 > 0:08:16There's me thinking I'd have a lorry.

0:08:18 > 0:08:20The boys will love this back home.

0:08:20 > 0:08:22The boys took the mick out of me,

0:08:22 > 0:08:24said, "Oh, you'll be having a donkey and a horse and cart."

0:08:24 > 0:08:27looks like I'm the donkey and that's the cart!

0:08:27 > 0:08:30HE LAUGHS

0:08:30 > 0:08:31Oh, I can't believe it.

0:08:31 > 0:08:34Absolutely nothing to what I expected.

0:08:37 > 0:08:41A small community of binmen and their families live around the dump.

0:08:41 > 0:08:45And for the next ten days, Wilbur will be working amongst them.

0:08:46 > 0:08:49Millions of Indonesians live like this,

0:08:49 > 0:08:53in hand-built shacks without sanitation or clean drinking water.

0:08:53 > 0:08:58For his first night, Wilbur will be sleeping in this house,

0:08:58 > 0:09:02where Imam grew up and where his parents still live.

0:09:02 > 0:09:05Boy. See how big it is.

0:09:05 > 0:09:09It's not even a full arm's width apart.

0:09:09 > 0:09:11It's about eight foot in length.

0:09:11 > 0:09:14That's just the room, the bed and load of flies.

0:09:17 > 0:09:20Can't comprehend it, some of it. There's a lot to take in.

0:09:34 > 0:09:37Over here, you've got the rich,

0:09:37 > 0:09:40big high rises, big business,

0:09:40 > 0:09:45and on this side it's proper slumming, proper slumming.

0:09:48 > 0:09:51Imam and the other binmen unload the rubbish

0:09:51 > 0:09:52from their carts onto this dump.

0:09:52 > 0:09:55Council lorries are then supposed to take it away,

0:09:55 > 0:09:57but they often don't.

0:09:57 > 0:10:00And Wilbur is about to learn that Jakarta's binmen

0:10:00 > 0:10:02face another familiar problem -

0:10:02 > 0:10:04fly-tippers.

0:10:04 > 0:10:05What are these guys doing?

0:10:10 > 0:10:12And they're throwing on your tip?

0:10:12 > 0:10:16Do you often have fights with these people dumping their rubbish here?

0:10:24 > 0:10:25Your family's got to live here,

0:10:25 > 0:10:29and these little so-and-sos are throwing stuff on your patch.

0:10:29 > 0:10:31I'd get the right hump, I would.

0:10:35 > 0:10:36Look, there's a bat!

0:10:36 > 0:10:38There's bats everywhere as well.

0:10:38 > 0:10:40HE LAUGHS

0:10:45 > 0:10:47Switch off the light, mate, please.

0:10:47 > 0:10:48OK.

0:10:48 > 0:10:51Imam has lived on this busy street most of his life.

0:10:51 > 0:10:53Opposite is an all-night cafe.

0:10:53 > 0:10:57There are food stalls, and nearby is a makeshift bar.

0:10:57 > 0:11:01In his plywood shack, Wilbur can't escape the noise,

0:11:01 > 0:11:04and he's about to meet some of the locals.

0:11:09 > 0:11:12Can't sleep. Can't sleep for buggery.

0:11:13 > 0:11:17There's rats absolutely everywhere.

0:11:19 > 0:11:21There's people milling about outside...

0:11:21 > 0:11:23CAR HORN SOUNDS

0:11:23 > 0:11:25See, that's... you must have heard that.

0:11:25 > 0:11:28That's how close the car is passing to my head.

0:11:28 > 0:11:30HE SIGHS

0:11:30 > 0:11:32Fucking hell.

0:11:39 > 0:11:42Today Wilbur begins his training as a Jakarta binman.

0:11:42 > 0:11:47In ten days' time, he'll be doing the round all by himself.

0:11:49 > 0:11:52Do you think I look bright enough for these boys?

0:11:52 > 0:11:56I'm going to go to work. Should be fun.

0:11:57 > 0:12:00Imam's round begins on his doorstep.

0:12:10 > 0:12:12This is Guntur,

0:12:12 > 0:12:15a wealthy residential area near the city's business district.

0:12:16 > 0:12:21What's that? Is that a flat or is that a house?

0:12:22 > 0:12:24Bloody hell.

0:12:24 > 0:12:27That shows how much money there is about the place.

0:12:27 > 0:12:30And there's them living just around the corner in a shack.

0:12:32 > 0:12:33Sampa!

0:12:33 > 0:12:34OK.

0:12:37 > 0:12:40Imam collects the rubbish from nearly 100 houses

0:12:40 > 0:12:44and is paid by the local residents' association.

0:12:44 > 0:12:48He works six days a week for about £15.

0:12:49 > 0:12:52Whilst some people bag up their rubbish,

0:12:52 > 0:12:54most just dump it in a hole in the wall.

0:12:54 > 0:12:56- OK?- OK.

0:12:56 > 0:12:59I'm scraping out shit, basically.

0:12:59 > 0:13:02They've got these little pots between each house

0:13:02 > 0:13:04and at the end of the street.

0:13:04 > 0:13:06He actually sweeps them out as well.

0:13:07 > 0:13:09Where do we go now, mate?

0:13:10 > 0:13:13This I can do, I'm used to this bit.

0:13:13 > 0:13:15No-one separates the recycling.

0:13:15 > 0:13:19Household waste, food, plastic and garden cuttings

0:13:19 > 0:13:20all end up in the mix.

0:13:20 > 0:13:24And he washes them out. Can you believe that?

0:13:24 > 0:13:25This round will take for ever!

0:13:25 > 0:13:30It's slow work. In two hours, they've only done 20 houses.

0:13:36 > 0:13:37- You do this too?!- Yeah.

0:13:37 > 0:13:38Shit!

0:13:40 > 0:13:42He also does the drains.

0:13:42 > 0:13:44What a load of crap.

0:13:45 > 0:13:48Imam is responsible for keeping the drains flowing

0:13:48 > 0:13:50outside his customers' houses.

0:13:54 > 0:13:55We've got a department for this.

0:13:57 > 0:14:01The man's in there in bare feet, and all sorts, doing this.

0:14:01 > 0:14:04He doesn't know what's in there. Nothing.

0:14:06 > 0:14:08For all he knows, it could be glass.

0:14:09 > 0:14:11He's in there in bare feet.

0:14:11 > 0:14:13He's crazy, man.

0:14:13 > 0:14:15I wouldn't do it.

0:14:15 > 0:14:18And I know health and safety wouldn't let me do it.

0:14:21 > 0:14:25As the cart fills up, Wilbur is beginning to feel the heat.

0:14:25 > 0:14:27I don't even think it's coming up to midday yet,

0:14:27 > 0:14:28but the sun here is...

0:14:28 > 0:14:29boiling.

0:14:31 > 0:14:35It takes Imam at least five hours to do the round.

0:14:35 > 0:14:38He starts early and works without a break.

0:14:42 > 0:14:46This job is a lot more physically demanding than I ever expected.

0:14:47 > 0:14:50This thing here weighs a ton, on top of that.

0:14:51 > 0:14:53This is usually a one-man game.

0:14:53 > 0:14:56Me and him today, and I'm sweating like a pig.

0:14:56 > 0:14:58CAR HORN SOUNDS

0:15:04 > 0:15:08With two carts full, one more trip will finish the round.

0:15:08 > 0:15:09But Wilbur's had enough.

0:15:14 > 0:15:16Ohhh. Phew!

0:15:19 > 0:15:21That's proper hot!

0:15:29 > 0:15:32I tell you what, I'm going to sleep for a week!

0:15:35 > 0:15:39In London, once Wilbur's finished his round, the job's done.

0:15:39 > 0:15:43But for Imam, there's still hours of work to do.

0:15:43 > 0:15:45Paper. Plastic.

0:15:45 > 0:15:47Plastics there, paper there.

0:15:47 > 0:15:50The wage he gets from the residents' association

0:15:50 > 0:15:52for the round barely pays the rent.

0:15:52 > 0:15:55In order to eat, Imam, and the whole family,

0:15:55 > 0:15:58have to start their second job - recycling.

0:15:58 > 0:16:00They pick out anything that can be recycled

0:16:00 > 0:16:04and sort it into different piles, which they bag up and sell.

0:16:04 > 0:16:06Whole family, hands on deck.

0:16:06 > 0:16:09Everyone's doing it. They're going all through all of it for recycling.

0:16:09 > 0:16:10I can't do this with gloves on.

0:16:14 > 0:16:18Imam and his family work on late into the night.

0:16:24 > 0:16:28But there's another side to this city, because Indonesia is

0:16:28 > 0:16:31one of the fastest-growing economies in the world.

0:16:31 > 0:16:35Jakarta is a city of ostentatious mansions,

0:16:35 > 0:16:38designer brands and glitzy shopping malls.

0:16:42 > 0:16:45But very few Indonesians are living this dream.

0:16:46 > 0:16:49More than 30 million survive on a dollar a day.

0:16:54 > 0:16:56Some of the poorest have made their homes

0:16:56 > 0:16:58alongside the rivers that criss-cross the city.

0:17:01 > 0:17:05This is where they do their toilet. Straight bang into the river, mate.

0:17:05 > 0:17:07This is...

0:17:07 > 0:17:09the number two factory.

0:17:09 > 0:17:14Like most of Jakarta's rivers, this one is heavily polluted.

0:17:14 > 0:17:17Only the well-off can afford binmen coming door to door,

0:17:17 > 0:17:21so nearly 20 per cent of the city's rubbish ends up in the river.

0:17:21 > 0:17:24I've seen filthy rivers in my time, but this takes the biscuit.

0:17:24 > 0:17:27I mean, there's actual islands out there...

0:17:27 > 0:17:29..of crap.

0:17:29 > 0:17:31More than 100 million people in Indonesia

0:17:31 > 0:17:34don't have access to clean drinking water,

0:17:34 > 0:17:37whilst in Jakarta, the city sanitation department

0:17:37 > 0:17:41tries to clean the rivers, but it can't keep up.

0:17:47 > 0:17:48Being here's opened my eyes.

0:17:51 > 0:17:53It's opened my eyes and tugged at my heartstrings.

0:17:57 > 0:18:01Just over that wall, there's so much money,

0:18:01 > 0:18:04but the wealth isn't shared.

0:18:04 > 0:18:06The cars I've seen here are amazing.

0:18:06 > 0:18:07Untold difference...

0:18:07 > 0:18:12shopping malls and people wearing Chanel, Prada, you know...

0:18:12 > 0:18:15It's here. For those people that haven't got anything, though,

0:18:15 > 0:18:20they work near enough all the hours God sends

0:18:20 > 0:18:22and sometimes that just ain't enough.

0:18:26 > 0:18:29It's time for Wilbur to get back to work.

0:18:29 > 0:18:32Soon he'll he doing Imam's round on his own.

0:18:32 > 0:18:36Early morning. The sun hasn't come up yet.

0:18:36 > 0:18:37Still pretty warm, though.

0:18:37 > 0:18:39Sampa!

0:18:51 > 0:18:58In England, this is your own house maintenance, basically.

0:18:58 > 0:19:00But he's doing it all for them

0:19:00 > 0:19:03and I don't see them giving him any thanks at all.

0:19:06 > 0:19:07Thank you very much.

0:19:10 > 0:19:11Friendly, real friendly.

0:19:11 > 0:19:12NOT!

0:19:16 > 0:19:21When you think about the way that you live, right,

0:19:21 > 0:19:25and the way that these people live...

0:19:45 > 0:19:46Imam could be sacked at any time

0:19:46 > 0:19:49if the residents aren't happy with his work.

0:19:49 > 0:19:51He has no job security.

0:19:54 > 0:19:56He said if he doesn't do all this stuff,

0:19:56 > 0:19:58these extra little bits and that,

0:19:58 > 0:20:01there is always someone to take his place.

0:20:01 > 0:20:03So to keep his job, he does the best that he can

0:20:03 > 0:20:07and actually gets it all actually running.

0:20:07 > 0:20:09HE GRUNTS

0:20:09 > 0:20:10Uphill!

0:20:18 > 0:20:20I think you need to have some kind of spirit to do this job,

0:20:20 > 0:20:22or else you'd bloody cry.

0:20:27 > 0:20:30Back at base, the council dust cart has shown up.

0:20:30 > 0:20:33It's meant to come every day, but it rarely does,

0:20:33 > 0:20:36so the dump where Imam's family live is never cleared.

0:20:39 > 0:20:43It means Imam and his wife Windi are in effect

0:20:43 > 0:20:45bringing up their son on a rubbish tip.

0:21:59 > 0:22:04Talking to Imam today about him being a dustman,

0:22:04 > 0:22:08and he has to fight every single day.

0:22:08 > 0:22:12Every single day, to keep his family afloat.

0:22:12 > 0:22:15Beyond me. They're so lovely, the family's so lovely.

0:22:17 > 0:22:21And to think they can't get out of this.

0:22:24 > 0:22:27HE SNIFFS

0:22:33 > 0:22:36PEOPLE CHATTER IN INDONESIAN

0:22:40 > 0:22:41Thanks, mate.

0:22:41 > 0:22:45Do you reckon you could ever come out of where you're living

0:22:45 > 0:22:48or come out of your situation any time?

0:22:53 > 0:22:56You work much harder than I ever will.

0:22:56 > 0:22:58You work enough as it is.

0:22:58 > 0:23:00How are you going to balance your family life,

0:23:00 > 0:23:04if you think the only way to get out is to have more rounds?

0:23:04 > 0:23:05You won't see your family, no?

0:23:15 > 0:23:19Why don't you guys as binmen get together

0:23:19 > 0:23:25and make some kind of union, so you've got some kind of voice?

0:23:44 > 0:23:48So how do you feel about that, that it seems you're expendable?

0:23:58 > 0:24:04I know you're doing the best you can, but me personally, I'd be screaming.

0:24:06 > 0:24:08I don't think I could be as humble as you.

0:24:08 > 0:24:11I probably would have been banged up by now,

0:24:11 > 0:24:13because I couldn't handle that.

0:24:13 > 0:24:17I actually think it's got to me more than I thought it would.

0:24:17 > 0:24:20I mean, the geezer's at work at six o'clock in the morning.

0:24:20 > 0:24:23Trying to provide for his family.

0:24:23 > 0:24:27And then still doing it at 12:30 at night,

0:24:27 > 0:24:29to go to sleep, to get up again at six o'clock

0:24:29 > 0:24:32and do the same fucking thing all over again.

0:24:32 > 0:24:37To be quite honest with you, it makes me fucked off.

0:24:37 > 0:24:39I'm going to fight his corner for him.

0:24:39 > 0:24:40- Brother.- Yeah.

0:24:43 > 0:24:45- Immense.- Yeah.

0:24:45 > 0:24:47Immense. You're immense.

0:24:48 > 0:24:50WILBUR SNIFFS

0:24:50 > 0:24:51Couldn't do it.

0:24:55 > 0:24:57I couldn't do what he does.

0:24:59 > 0:25:00Washroom?

0:25:00 > 0:25:01Yeah.

0:25:01 > 0:25:02Lizard!

0:25:04 > 0:25:05Lizard.

0:25:11 > 0:25:13TRAFFIC NOISE DROWNS SPEECH

0:25:27 > 0:25:30There's an air of excitement at Imam's tip.

0:25:30 > 0:25:33The city sanitation department has sent a digger,

0:25:33 > 0:25:36but it's Sunday today, so no-one's quite sure why.

0:25:36 > 0:25:38Bit of a surprise for everyone.

0:25:38 > 0:25:41All the rubbish has been cleared today.

0:25:41 > 0:25:43That's a good thing...top banana!

0:25:45 > 0:25:48He's well chuffed. I mean, you take a look up the line,

0:25:48 > 0:25:53you see everyone either helping or they're just sitting down watching,

0:25:53 > 0:25:56cos they're all in complete surprise that it's being done.

0:25:56 > 0:26:01The word on the street is the clean-up is because of Wilbur.

0:26:01 > 0:26:05How long has that pile been like that?

0:26:16 > 0:26:18You've been a dustman five years,

0:26:18 > 0:26:21and in five years you've never seen it cleared like this?

0:26:28 > 0:26:30But the clean-up is short lived.

0:26:32 > 0:26:35Oi! Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo.

0:26:35 > 0:26:37You can't... HE WHISTLES

0:26:37 > 0:26:39The fly-tippers are back.

0:26:40 > 0:26:42You can't be doing that there.

0:26:42 > 0:26:43That's just been cleared.

0:26:46 > 0:26:49You can't really be doing that there. That's just been cleared.

0:26:49 > 0:26:52Tell them to piss off. You lot got to stand up, man.

0:26:52 > 0:26:54If you don't stand up, this is going to happen 24/7.

0:26:54 > 0:26:56Look how much rubbish is there.

0:26:56 > 0:26:57The man might not come tomorrow.

0:26:58 > 0:27:00Wilbur wants to take on the fly-tippers

0:27:00 > 0:27:02and he doesn't understand

0:27:02 > 0:27:04why none of the other binmen are joining him.

0:27:04 > 0:27:06There's so many of them there. Why don't they say something?

0:27:06 > 0:27:09This is where they live. He's standing there like a mug.

0:27:09 > 0:27:11Why don't you tell him to tell them?

0:27:11 > 0:27:14You're both here. You both need to say something.

0:27:14 > 0:27:17This is not their place to tip.

0:27:17 > 0:27:20This is your place to tip. This is where your mum lives.

0:27:20 > 0:27:24Wilbur's shouting seems to have frightened the fly-tippers away.

0:27:24 > 0:27:26- Go on, tell them to fuck off!- Yeah.

0:27:26 > 0:27:29SPEAKS INDONESIAN

0:27:29 > 0:27:32No, maybe so, but you need to tell them to fuck off, not me!

0:27:32 > 0:27:34I'm so upset with what goes on here,

0:27:34 > 0:27:36I would like to go and knock them out,

0:27:36 > 0:27:38to tell the truth.

0:27:52 > 0:27:56It seems the fly-tippers are in collusion with local officials.

0:27:56 > 0:27:58If the binmen make a fuss,

0:27:58 > 0:28:02their homes and jobs could be in jeopardy.

0:28:02 > 0:28:05It's so corrupt here, it is untrue.

0:28:05 > 0:28:09And caught in the middle, or caught at the bottom of the pyramid,

0:28:09 > 0:28:11are them boys in there.

0:28:11 > 0:28:13HE LAUGHS

0:28:13 > 0:28:16And it's not long before the fly-tippers return.

0:28:20 > 0:28:24Knowing Imam's job is at stake, Wilbur tries to keep his cool.

0:28:25 > 0:28:28This has been done for the first time in five years.

0:28:28 > 0:28:32It's been cleared. At least do it nice for the people.

0:28:32 > 0:28:33I know you are going to tip it.

0:28:33 > 0:28:35Tip it over there, not over there onto the thing.

0:28:35 > 0:28:38It's been cleared for the first time in five years.

0:28:38 > 0:28:40Don't smile at me, cos I've really got the hump, mate.

0:28:40 > 0:28:43SPEAKS INDONESIAN

0:28:46 > 0:28:50In less than three hours of that being cleared,

0:28:50 > 0:28:51look at it already.

0:28:53 > 0:28:56You know? They're fighting a losing battle here.

0:28:56 > 0:28:58If I make too much of a fuss about it,

0:28:58 > 0:28:59I could lose them their jobs.

0:29:02 > 0:29:04You know what? It pisses me off to the hilt.

0:29:04 > 0:29:06I've got to say.

0:29:06 > 0:29:07Pisses me off to the hilt.

0:29:11 > 0:29:13Wilbur is out of his depth.

0:29:13 > 0:29:16He's from a world of rules and regulations,

0:29:16 > 0:29:20where one phone call is all it takes to stop the fly-tippers.

0:29:22 > 0:29:24What a fucking mess!

0:29:27 > 0:29:29After the drama of the day,

0:29:29 > 0:29:33the family settle down to a late Sunday lunch.

0:29:33 > 0:29:34Thank you, Mama.

0:29:41 > 0:29:44- Tempeh.- Tempeh?

0:29:44 > 0:29:46Quite like that. It's all right.

0:29:47 > 0:29:50'Today I might have gone a bit too far.'

0:29:50 > 0:29:54I started to get really upset and angry.

0:29:54 > 0:29:56I don't want to get him in any trouble,

0:29:56 > 0:29:59but I've learned that when people take the piss out of you,

0:29:59 > 0:30:01you've really got to stand up.

0:30:01 > 0:30:05And Wilbur's attitude seems to be rubbing off on Imam.

0:30:29 > 0:30:32It's Wilbur's last day in Indonesia

0:30:32 > 0:30:35and the hour of reckoning has arrived.

0:30:40 > 0:30:44Today he is going solo as a Jakarta binman.

0:30:46 > 0:30:48I'm doing my checks before I have to go out.

0:30:48 > 0:30:51Give him the day off. This is what it's all been leading up to.

0:30:54 > 0:30:55Happy days.

0:30:57 > 0:30:58Ready to go, man.

0:31:01 > 0:31:03I'll try. Try not to.

0:31:06 > 0:31:10- Game on.- OK! Bye-bye.

0:31:10 > 0:31:1543-year-old dustman Wilbur Ramirez from Cricklewood, North London,

0:31:15 > 0:31:18is starting his round in Guntur District, south Jakarta.

0:31:23 > 0:31:26WILBUR SINGS

0:31:35 > 0:31:38He has to collect the rubbish from nearly 100 houses,

0:31:38 > 0:31:40and he has to do it all on his own.

0:31:41 > 0:31:43Sampa!

0:31:46 > 0:31:47Sampa!

0:31:48 > 0:31:50Sampa!

0:31:50 > 0:31:55He has to sweep, clean the drains, wash the bins.

0:31:55 > 0:31:58And he can't afford any complaints from the residents.

0:32:03 > 0:32:06HE PANTS

0:32:08 > 0:32:09Did that one.

0:32:13 > 0:32:14HE MOUTHS

0:32:18 > 0:32:21One cart down and two to go.

0:32:24 > 0:32:27I know how he stays positive.

0:32:27 > 0:32:30He's got a beautiful wife there, young wife.

0:32:32 > 0:32:34Got a beautiful, handsome boy there,

0:32:34 > 0:32:37and who wouldn't want to provide for them?

0:32:38 > 0:32:42I can understand why he works so hard.

0:32:42 > 0:32:44You'd want the best for your family.

0:32:46 > 0:32:48Sampa!

0:32:48 > 0:32:50Sampa!

0:32:53 > 0:32:56One of the residents seems determined to ruin Wilbur's day.

0:32:56 > 0:33:00But for Imam's sake, Wilbur tries to remain calm.

0:33:00 > 0:33:02All right, mate, you just make a mess for me.

0:33:02 > 0:33:05It's all right. I'll clean up for you(!)

0:33:12 > 0:33:19In London, they take five bags of garden waste, that is it.

0:33:19 > 0:33:23Otherwise, you're taking up other people's space on the cart.

0:33:24 > 0:33:25He's taking up the whole cart.

0:33:35 > 0:33:37I'm getting on with it, anyway.

0:33:38 > 0:33:39That's the main thing.

0:33:43 > 0:33:48I just don't want to jeopardise the man's job with what I'm doing.

0:33:48 > 0:33:50It's back-breaking work.

0:33:50 > 0:33:56After five hours without a rest, Wilbur is having to dig deep.

0:33:56 > 0:34:00I'm going back now to put this load back, empty it,

0:34:00 > 0:34:03come out, finish the round.

0:34:03 > 0:34:06So the sooner I can get it done, the better.

0:34:06 > 0:34:10I've still got to go through it all, so I don't want it to be dark

0:34:10 > 0:34:13and I'm still going through it, so I'm plodding on.

0:34:13 > 0:34:17Two hours later, and the end is in sight.

0:34:17 > 0:34:19This one here that I'm doing

0:34:19 > 0:34:22makes me the most happiest man alive right now,

0:34:22 > 0:34:24because that means...

0:34:26 > 0:34:28..that I've done.

0:34:28 > 0:34:30I've managed to do all of his round.

0:34:30 > 0:34:32Yee-ha! That's all I can say.

0:34:33 > 0:34:34Finished.

0:34:36 > 0:34:41Yeah! Finished! Woo-hoo!

0:34:41 > 0:34:43Yeah, baby.

0:34:44 > 0:34:45HE LAUGHS

0:34:45 > 0:34:47IMAM CHEERS

0:34:52 > 0:34:54All of it. All done. Finished.

0:35:00 > 0:35:02Mate, come here.

0:35:02 > 0:35:04Wicked!

0:35:08 > 0:35:10I'm glad you said that, cos if you didn't,

0:35:10 > 0:35:12I would have been quite upset with you.

0:35:12 > 0:35:14HE LAUGHS

0:35:14 > 0:35:16HE SINGS

0:35:28 > 0:35:32Wilbur's ten days as a Jakarta binman are over.

0:35:32 > 0:35:34He is leaving behind Imam,

0:35:34 > 0:35:37his family and the tight-knit community

0:35:37 > 0:35:40on this south Jakarta rubbish dump.

0:35:40 > 0:35:41Mwah!

0:35:41 > 0:35:42See you later.

0:35:42 > 0:35:43Come here, son.

0:35:43 > 0:35:44Yeah, OK!

0:35:44 > 0:35:47- Yeah!- Hey, hey.

0:35:47 > 0:35:48Yes, yes, I'm coming!

0:35:50 > 0:35:51Share this.

0:35:52 > 0:35:55First aid kit, and loads of gloves.

0:35:55 > 0:35:57Yeah? Wicked.

0:35:57 > 0:35:59Ah, come here, baby.

0:35:59 > 0:36:02Come here! Mwah!

0:36:02 > 0:36:04You think you're getting away?

0:36:04 > 0:36:05Aargh! Come here!

0:36:07 > 0:36:09- All right?- Yeah.- All right.

0:36:09 > 0:36:11I'll see you guys!

0:36:11 > 0:36:13THEY SHOUT TO HIM

0:36:13 > 0:36:14All of you!

0:36:16 > 0:36:19'A bit gutted that I'm leaving,'

0:36:19 > 0:36:21but happy at the same time.

0:36:21 > 0:36:23See you later, boys. Yeah?

0:36:47 > 0:36:50It's 18 months since Wilbur returned home.

0:36:50 > 0:36:55Going to Hammersmith and Fulham's motorised rickshaw!

0:36:56 > 0:36:59And he's still working the same round in West London.

0:37:01 > 0:37:02- Morning, Prav.- Morning.

0:37:05 > 0:37:08But now he's something of a local celebrity.

0:37:08 > 0:37:11The first day I came back on my round,

0:37:11 > 0:37:13they actually came out onto their doorsteps

0:37:13 > 0:37:18and was clapping at me as I was doing my work down the road.

0:37:18 > 0:37:19It was surreal.

0:37:21 > 0:37:23I was never expecting anything like that.

0:37:28 > 0:37:30Nearly done on this street.

0:37:30 > 0:37:34And with celebrity came the red carpets and black ties.

0:37:35 > 0:37:39For trying to make a difference, Wilbur Ramirez!

0:37:39 > 0:37:40CHEERING

0:37:40 > 0:37:43An award from his employer, Serco.

0:37:44 > 0:37:46Had a night out with my wife.

0:37:46 > 0:37:48Well chuffed to get that.

0:37:49 > 0:37:53But Wilbur's never forgotten his experiences in Jakarta.

0:37:56 > 0:37:57Sampa!

0:37:59 > 0:38:01Them guys in their bare feet.

0:38:01 > 0:38:03Walking the streets in bare feet.

0:38:03 > 0:38:06It's a bit different. We've got health and safety over here.

0:38:06 > 0:38:08Over there it's just get the job done.

0:38:09 > 0:38:13Wilbur and his wife Nicky have raised more than £3,000

0:38:13 > 0:38:16for Imam and the binmen of Guntur District.

0:38:16 > 0:38:18There are a lot of people like Imam and his family

0:38:18 > 0:38:20that people don't know they exist

0:38:20 > 0:38:22and they don't know they have that kind of life.

0:38:22 > 0:38:24So it's people like us can make a difference.

0:38:24 > 0:38:27Even just a small difference.

0:38:27 > 0:38:30Now Wilbur's going back to Jakarta and he's taking the money

0:38:30 > 0:38:33they've raised to see what kind of a difference he can make.

0:38:38 > 0:38:42Wilbur's returning to a country in the midst of an economic boom.

0:38:42 > 0:38:47Indonesia now boasts the 16th largest economy in the world,

0:38:47 > 0:38:49growing at more than 6 per cent a year.

0:38:50 > 0:38:53But despite this increasing prosperity,

0:38:53 > 0:38:56millions of Indonesians live below the poverty line.

0:38:58 > 0:39:03Imam Saafi and his family still live in the same part of South Jakarta.

0:39:28 > 0:39:30I think it's this way.

0:39:32 > 0:39:36The two men haven't spoken since Wilbur was last here.

0:39:43 > 0:39:44Hiya.

0:39:44 > 0:39:46HE LAUGHS

0:39:46 > 0:39:48I think I'm getting close now. This way.

0:39:51 > 0:39:53If I remember rightly, it's just up here on the left.

0:39:53 > 0:39:54Is that the big man there?

0:39:56 > 0:39:57Is this him here?

0:39:57 > 0:39:58Haaa!

0:39:58 > 0:40:00THEY LAUGH AND CHEER

0:40:00 > 0:40:02How you doing, fella?

0:40:02 > 0:40:03Look at you!

0:40:03 > 0:40:05You ain't changed a bit.

0:40:05 > 0:40:07It's good to see you, big man.

0:40:11 > 0:40:13Hello!

0:40:13 > 0:40:15- How are you?!- How are you, darling? All right?

0:40:19 > 0:40:20Look at the size of you!

0:40:25 > 0:40:26Hello, big man!

0:40:31 > 0:40:34Hey, big man, did you forget me?

0:40:39 > 0:40:40They're for you!

0:40:43 > 0:40:44Two years old now?

0:40:47 > 0:40:48I didn't know what to get you.

0:41:02 > 0:41:03Thank God for that!

0:41:03 > 0:41:05So what have you been doing, big man?

0:41:05 > 0:41:07How have you been since I saw you last time?

0:41:07 > 0:41:08Have you been working out?

0:41:12 > 0:41:13Been working too hard?

0:41:13 > 0:41:15- Huh?- Been working too hard.

0:41:17 > 0:41:19ALL LAUGH

0:41:19 > 0:41:21Has anything changed?

0:41:35 > 0:41:37WILBUR MOUTHS

0:41:41 > 0:41:42Fishing!

0:41:51 > 0:41:57I'm just happy for you that nothing untoward happened,

0:41:57 > 0:42:00cos I was making so much noise...

0:42:10 > 0:42:13Oh, you're doing it now? Good, good.

0:42:13 > 0:42:14I'm glad to see...

0:42:15 > 0:42:18You've got a bit of steel in your back now, yeah?

0:42:18 > 0:42:19Oh, I'm happy for you.

0:42:31 > 0:42:34It's good to see you again, man, it really is.

0:42:34 > 0:42:37If Wilbur is expecting anything like the old hand cart,

0:42:37 > 0:42:40he's in for a surprise.

0:42:40 > 0:42:42What's that? What's that?

0:42:44 > 0:42:45- Yours?- Yeah.

0:42:45 > 0:42:46Shut up!

0:42:48 > 0:42:49Is that your old one?

0:42:49 > 0:42:52For some reason, I thought it was bigger!

0:42:55 > 0:42:56So did the government give you that?

0:43:04 > 0:43:06Wicked. It's bright...look at it!

0:43:06 > 0:43:08After Wilbur's visit,

0:43:08 > 0:43:11Imam became the most famous binman in Indonesia.

0:43:11 > 0:43:14It's bigger than my bike!

0:43:14 > 0:43:16HE GRUNTS

0:43:16 > 0:43:19And the government decided to replace his hand cart.

0:43:22 > 0:43:25Yeah! I can't get over you got a bike.

0:43:25 > 0:43:27Welcome to the easy life.

0:43:27 > 0:43:29THEY LAUGH

0:43:29 > 0:43:31Let's go into the sunset, son!

0:43:37 > 0:43:39See ya! Go on a little drive.

0:43:42 > 0:43:43Brakes don't work!

0:43:51 > 0:43:53Next morning, and Wilbur realises

0:43:53 > 0:43:56it isn't just Imam's cart that's had a makeover.

0:43:58 > 0:43:59The rubbish has all gone.

0:43:59 > 0:44:02Looks like...what's that?

0:44:17 > 0:44:19Yeah, that's brilliant.

0:44:19 > 0:44:24And now the trucks come regularly - at least twice a day.

0:44:24 > 0:44:26The publicity surrounding Wilbur's last visit

0:44:26 > 0:44:29embarrassed the government into action.

0:44:29 > 0:44:33The street is no longer a rubbish dump.

0:44:33 > 0:44:37Down the road there in front of all the huts and whatever,

0:44:37 > 0:44:39it's pretty clear.

0:44:39 > 0:44:42For me, that's near enough 100% improvement. You know?

0:44:42 > 0:44:46Cos down there used to be stinking.

0:44:46 > 0:44:47Amazing transformation.

0:44:49 > 0:44:53But the rubbish of Guntur District still needs to be collected.

0:44:54 > 0:44:55Come on!

0:44:55 > 0:44:58So it's time to put the new cart through its paces.

0:45:18 > 0:45:20Feels like I never left!

0:45:21 > 0:45:23Still as shitty as I remember it.

0:45:23 > 0:45:24Yeah.

0:45:25 > 0:45:29It used to take Imam five hours and a lot of heavy lifting

0:45:29 > 0:45:30to complete his round.

0:45:32 > 0:45:33Hold tight.

0:45:33 > 0:45:37Now he can do the whole thing in just an hour.

0:45:37 > 0:45:38Sampa!

0:45:55 > 0:46:00Tell you what, this is a lot easier than what he had before.

0:46:00 > 0:46:01Much, much easier.

0:46:01 > 0:46:07Now it's taking him... not even half the time.

0:46:07 > 0:46:09So much easier. It's unbelievable.

0:46:11 > 0:46:16You know. Every business, everything, there's always a small man.

0:46:16 > 0:46:18Without them small men, business can't run.

0:46:18 > 0:46:23If there wasn't binmen doing it on the front line...

0:46:23 > 0:46:25you know, your cities would be shit!

0:46:27 > 0:46:29Things have improved in Imam's street,

0:46:29 > 0:46:33now that the council lorries are picking up the waste.

0:46:33 > 0:46:36But the government here does nothing for the binmen themselves,

0:46:36 > 0:46:39who are still living on the brink of destitution.

0:47:05 > 0:47:10Does he have to pay for his own petrol to do the round?

0:47:25 > 0:47:28Imam wants to put a brave face on things,

0:47:28 > 0:47:31but the hard truth is he can barely afford

0:47:31 > 0:47:33to run the shiny new motorbike.

0:47:47 > 0:47:52I've got to say, I think that's amazing, what you've just told me.

0:47:52 > 0:47:56It's like they give you something with one hand

0:47:56 > 0:47:58and then they take it away with the other.

0:47:58 > 0:48:03Having to pay for your own petrol when you're doing the city's work...

0:48:05 > 0:48:08You just feel like you want to fight all the time.

0:48:08 > 0:48:09You're in an uphill battle.

0:48:11 > 0:48:12It's all right.

0:48:27 > 0:48:30Even worse, as a condition of giving him the bike,

0:48:30 > 0:48:33the government sends Imam on errands around the city.

0:48:33 > 0:48:35He won't talk about the situation,

0:48:35 > 0:48:38because he's frightened of losing his job.

0:48:38 > 0:48:42They've got the cheek to say to him, "You know what?

0:48:42 > 0:48:46"You've got the cart. Can you give us a hand over..."

0:48:46 > 0:48:49You know, say, another borough, yeah?

0:48:49 > 0:48:51That's what they ask him to do.

0:48:51 > 0:48:55And on that, he's got to fund the petrol to go over

0:48:55 > 0:48:56and do them a favour.

0:48:58 > 0:49:00Tell me that's not taking the mick.

0:49:01 > 0:49:03I don't know what people think, but for me,

0:49:03 > 0:49:07I think the Indonesian government should be ashamed of themselves.

0:49:11 > 0:49:13Despite the increasing wealth here,

0:49:13 > 0:49:1860% of Indonesia's workforce still don't receive a formal salary

0:49:18 > 0:49:23and have no benefits or employment rights.

0:49:29 > 0:49:34Someone's got to stand up and help these people,

0:49:34 > 0:49:38and if their own people won't do it...

0:49:39 > 0:49:41..maybe us Westerners can.

0:49:56 > 0:50:00Now Wilbur has to decide how best to spend the £3,000

0:50:00 > 0:50:02he's raised since his first visit to Jakarta.

0:50:04 > 0:50:07I've been raising money while I've been in England

0:50:07 > 0:50:09for the community, Imam's community,

0:50:09 > 0:50:15and I've been in touch with this charity called FMCH.

0:50:16 > 0:50:18Hello, Febri?

0:50:18 > 0:50:19Hey, Wilbur!

0:50:19 > 0:50:22- How are you?- Hi.- Nice to meet you. - How are you? Nice to meet you.

0:50:22 > 0:50:25Welcome to FMCH Indonesia!

0:50:25 > 0:50:27Looks like they can't wait for you to get there!

0:50:27 > 0:50:29- Yes.- Yes.

0:50:31 > 0:50:34Febri's taking Wilbur into Cipete Utara,

0:50:34 > 0:50:37one of the city's numerous slums.

0:50:40 > 0:50:43It is home to about 900 families,

0:50:43 > 0:50:45some of the poorest people in the city.

0:50:48 > 0:50:53So where are you going to do this? Where do you do it? Further down?

0:50:53 > 0:50:57FMCH, The Foundation for Mother and Child Health,

0:50:57 > 0:51:00run a project here working to improve

0:51:00 > 0:51:03health, nutrition and education.

0:51:03 > 0:51:06Children here often can't go to school,

0:51:06 > 0:51:10having to work alongside their parents instead.

0:51:10 > 0:51:15So Febri and her team provide them with basic education.

0:51:15 > 0:51:18And today they have a new storyteller.

0:51:18 > 0:51:20The beast story.

0:51:20 > 0:51:21The beast story, yeah?

0:51:21 > 0:51:25From that day on, the beast lived with his servants.

0:51:25 > 0:51:29One night, he was surprised to find a stranger in his castle.

0:51:33 > 0:51:36SPEAKS INDONESIAN

0:51:37 > 0:51:40"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!" roared the beast.

0:51:40 > 0:51:41"COME OUT!"

0:51:41 > 0:51:43THEY LAUGH

0:51:43 > 0:51:45..yelled the beast.

0:51:46 > 0:51:48"No!" cried Belle.

0:51:48 > 0:51:50She would not open the door.

0:51:50 > 0:51:53THEY CHEER

0:51:55 > 0:51:59- ALL:- Thank you, Mr Wilbur.

0:52:05 > 0:52:07Many children don't have books of their own,

0:52:07 > 0:52:10so this is their only opportunity to read.

0:52:13 > 0:52:16I think that you lot are doing an amazing job.

0:52:16 > 0:52:19I've got to say, they seem to enjoy it. And...

0:52:19 > 0:52:21They enjoy when you are there.

0:52:21 > 0:52:25I think they got a bit scared of me, somehow!

0:52:25 > 0:52:27Because of your voice.

0:52:27 > 0:52:28Sorry!

0:52:31 > 0:52:34Wilbur wants FMCH to start a project

0:52:34 > 0:52:37for the rubbish collectors of Guntur District...

0:52:39 > 0:52:42..paid for by the money he's raised.

0:52:45 > 0:52:49Coming here now and being able to see exactly what you're doing

0:52:49 > 0:52:54is absolutely amazing, so if you don't mind,

0:52:54 > 0:52:57I'd like to write out a cheque for you.

0:52:57 > 0:52:59- Oh, wow!- And...

0:53:00 > 0:53:04'When Wilbur gave me the cheque, I felt this is wonderful.'

0:53:04 > 0:53:10Wonderful that someone foreign comes to our country

0:53:10 > 0:53:15and raises money to help my community in this country,

0:53:15 > 0:53:18so I'm very, very thankful.

0:53:31 > 0:53:34Today Wilbur's putting his plan into action.

0:53:34 > 0:53:37He's spread the word for all the binmen

0:53:37 > 0:53:39and their families to meet at a local hall.

0:53:41 > 0:53:44They have never come together as a community before,

0:53:44 > 0:53:47so he doesn't know if anyone will turn up.

0:53:57 > 0:53:59Good morning, everyone.

0:54:00 > 0:54:01My name's Wilbur.

0:54:01 > 0:54:04What I would like for you to do today

0:54:04 > 0:54:07is actually tell Febri

0:54:07 > 0:54:10exactly what you think your community needs.

0:54:12 > 0:54:15For the first time, the residents of Imam's street

0:54:15 > 0:54:17are discussing their problems together.

0:54:19 > 0:54:21Once they have decided what their needs are,

0:54:21 > 0:54:24Febri and her team will design a programme

0:54:24 > 0:54:27to help them, funded by Wilbur's money.

0:54:31 > 0:54:37How soon do you reckon that we could actually put something in place

0:54:37 > 0:54:40once you've got all this information?

0:54:40 > 0:54:45Probably we need at least a month to set up the programme.

0:54:45 > 0:54:47That's quite fast still.

0:54:47 > 0:54:49- Yeah?- That's very good.

0:55:08 > 0:55:10After two hours of debate,

0:55:10 > 0:55:12the community has reached a conclusion.

0:55:13 > 0:55:17Health education is their number one priority,

0:55:17 > 0:55:21followed by training for the women to help them find work.

0:55:21 > 0:55:26Now it's time for Wilbur to reveal the second stage of his plan,

0:55:26 > 0:55:27which is close to his heart.

0:55:29 > 0:55:32From now on, the dustmen of Guntur District

0:55:32 > 0:55:34are going to be properly kitted out.

0:55:35 > 0:55:37What size are you, sir?

0:55:38 > 0:55:42'The company I work for has kindly donated trousers,

0:55:42 > 0:55:46'tops, boots, shovels...'

0:55:46 > 0:55:47Next in line, sir!

0:55:49 > 0:55:51There you go, sir. Have a good one.

0:55:51 > 0:55:52Thank you very much.

0:55:52 > 0:55:53Come on, sir...

0:56:04 > 0:56:06Everyone's double happy.

0:56:06 > 0:56:10At least everyone's going to know who's from the Guntur District.

0:56:23 > 0:56:26It was a really, really, really good day.

0:56:26 > 0:56:29Everybody went away happy. Everybody.

0:56:39 > 0:56:43It's Wilbur's last day in Guntur District.

0:56:43 > 0:56:47There's a new colour on the streets, and it's orange.

0:57:01 > 0:57:06I've come down here this morning and I tell you, I am double happy.

0:57:06 > 0:57:08The guys are in their uniforms,

0:57:08 > 0:57:10they've got their fluorescent tops on,

0:57:10 > 0:57:13they've got their trousers on, they've got their boots on.

0:57:13 > 0:57:16Amazing. It's a proper transformation.

0:57:35 > 0:57:38There's about 3,000 dustmen in Jakarta.

0:57:38 > 0:57:41At least this little pocket in the Guntur District is sorted out.

0:57:46 > 0:57:50Wilbur's stay in Jakarta is coming to an end.

0:57:50 > 0:57:51Lovely to see you again, OK?

0:57:53 > 0:57:54Lovely to see you.

0:57:57 > 0:58:02'I'm one of the lucky people that actually have been able to...

0:58:02 > 0:58:07'have been given an opportunity to make a difference in people's lives.'

0:58:07 > 0:58:10See ya. Don't worry! It's all good. It's all good.

0:58:10 > 0:58:12It's all good. All right, see ya. Bye-bye.

0:58:16 > 0:58:20Wilbur is determined to continue supporting Windi, Imam

0:58:20 > 0:58:24and the binmen of Guntur District, Jakarta.
