Horses carrying heavy bricks

In the early morning a Pakistani Pashtun man guides two horses carrying a heavy load of bricks to be fired in a brick kiln. They are walking through a cloud of dust. Poverty and child labour is pervasive among workers in brick kilns in South Asia. Horses and donkeys also suffer badly. Peshawar alone has approximately 450 brick kilns. Photo taken on February 27, 2008 in Peshawar, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan.
