A child ragpicker walking through a rubbish dump in Sylhet's Dakshin Surma upazila. Every day, about a hundred children from nearby areas rummage through piles of waste deposited there by the Sylhet City Corporation. They collect and sell discarded bottles and other plastic materials to local scrap dealers without using gloves or any other safety gear, exposing themselves to infections and diseases.
