A young child laborer boy is running away from a pile of burning garbage in a polluted trash dump in Cambodia.
A young boy who works as a scavenger runs away from a pile of burning garbage at The Stung Meanchey Landfill in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. Fires spew noxious methane gas into the air and approximately 2000 people who scavenge here must endure these conditions daily to earn their livings. The dump is nicknamed "Smokey Mountain".
