Two child laborers are tending piles of burning trash at a toxic and polluted garbage dump in Cambodia.
Two child laborers are tending piles of burning trash at the polluted and smokey 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".
