Bangladeshi children take useful goods from landfill

Bangladesh: Leather Processing is an important source of income for the people in Islambat, which forms part of the Lalbag slum in the capital, city Dhaka. The heap of refuse in the background are leather pieces, which can not be used in the factory. The two children, girls, get out of the waste recycling stuff that they sell to recycling broker and so they earn some money. The left girl is blind, but helping her sister with the work. The environmental pollution in this industrial area is huge.
