A boy's life

These young boys in Pakistan earn a living by collecting recyclables from waste dumps & selling them to a recycling factory. Here they shower in water from a broken water pipe after their work is done. Despite the charm of their evident camaraderie, it cannot be an easy life since these boys are likely homeless & orphaned. Children are the ubiquitous victims of war & economic predation & the most damning testimony against it. (Photo by Muhammed Muheisen/AP)
