Night Scavengers of Cambodia

From The Denver Post photo blogs, a photo story from 2011

Cambodians work late into the night recycling garbage as fires burn at the local garbage dump in Siem Reap, Cambodia.

Many children work part time in the dump to help support their families while attending school during the day. While Siem Reap’s ancient temples boost massive tourism attracting millions of visitors still 28.3% of Cambodians live on less than $1.25 per day according to a 2011 UNDP Human Development Report.

An estimated 36 per cent of Cambodia’s 14.2 million people live below the poverty line and about 85 per cent of these live in rural areas.
