Child Labor

I came across this little boy at a dusty rice drying yard outside of Dhaka. He was really going on at it helping his sister scoop up unhusked rice grains into the canvas sacks. This is the final step in the rice drying process before it gets shipped to factories to be husked. The boy had a constant runny nose, and his gargantuan efforts resulted in a string of secretions that ran down his mouth. I guess so much for dry rice!
