Child labour in the hemisphere's second poorest country after Haiti. Scavengers at the municipal dump of "La Chureca" sift through the city's garbage dump looking for anything that can be reused, re-eaten or resold.
Men women and children work here in hot appalling conditions. Trucks and bulldozers are a hazard as well as the risk of wounds and infection from the trash. Humans are not the only scavengers here, also vultures, dogs and cows eat the rotting food on this dump site.
