Phnom Penh Cambodia, 09 DEcember 1998 : this cambodian woman is one of many hundreds who scavenge the garbage dump through the smoke and slush for recycle materials on the outskirts of Phnom Penh, 09 December. Mostly women and children, some as young as four, follow the garbage trucks as they enter the dump to get first pickings at the rubbish. The recycle material, paper, glass and plastics is big business in some countries but is a meagre existance for these families : [photographie] / AFP Photo \ Gabriel Bouys
