A woman from the ethnic Hazara community winds wool for weaving sweaters, in Maslakh camp for internally displaced people, on the outskirts of the north-western city of Herat. The Maslakh camp is no longer officially in operation, but many people from remote provinces still seek shelter here, fleeing poverty and conflict in rural areas. Afghanistan. June 20, 2007. (photo)

A tent classroom at Phool-e-Rangeena Government School in the north-western city of Herat. Like many schools throughout the country, the facility has been overwhelmed with children returning to classrooms after years of conflict. Some 7,000 children attend classes in three daily shifts. Aside from the main building, there are 30 tents, donated by the International Organization for Migration, IOM, on the school grounds. The hot, harsh, windy climate has damaged many of the tents. Afghanistan. June 21, 2007. (photo)

Pottery, an age old trade, is facing extinction at the Kumar Para (potters community) in Kaalipur village in Banshkhali, Chittagong. There were more than 80 families in the community involved in the trade of clay but now it has come down to an alarming number. Only five families stubbornly cling to the business. The reason behind leaving the trade is many: high cost of materials, the ever losing race against plastic and aluminum wares, low price and many more. The potters of the area say that they are trying hard to save the ancient trade which has lost its glory due to lack of attention and care. Bangladesh. May 15, 2009. (photo)

A Red Poppy, papaver rhoeas, is one of the many species and genera named poppy. It is a variable annual plant, forming a long-lived soil seed bank that can germinate when the soil is disturbed. In the northern hemisphere it generally flowers in late spring, but if the weather is warm enough other flowers frequently appear at the beginning of autumn. Dhaka, Bangladesh. February 19, 2008.

There were more than 80 families in the community involved in the trade of clay but now it has come down to an alarming number. Only five families stubbornly cling to the business. The reason behind leaving the trade is many: high cost of materials, the ever losing race against plastic and aluminum wares, low price and many more. The potters of the area say that they are trying hard to save the ancient trade which has lost its glory due to lack of attention and care. Bangladesh. May 15, 2009. (photo)

Drug addiction is one of the many human development problems hurting the poor and vulnerable the most in Pakistan. Having Afghanistan, the worlds largest poppy producing nation, as its neighbor, Pakistan serves as one of the major smuggling route for most of it. While in transit to other countries across the world, a huge quantity is spilled over within Pakistan itself. Consequently the domestic consumption of heroine has increased dramatically in Pakistan. It is estimated that about 50 tons of opium is smuggled into Pakistan for processing and domestic use alone. Transvestites using heroine, at a hideout in the city of Rawalpindi, in Pakistan.

Using a toothpick, a sardarni or madam, cleans teeth of one of her many girls that she uses for prostitution. Often sardarnis start their life in brothels as sex workers themselves, but as they grow old and find it difficult to attract clients, they start employing other younger children for the work instead. It is in their advantage to keep the children clean so more clients get attracted. Depending on their age, seniority, financial and political status, sardarnis keep as many as ten children. These children are paid little more than food, clothing and basic shared shelter. Any additional income depends on tips from clients. Kandhapara Brothel, Tangail, Bangladesh. July 2002. (photo)

Though people dont usually drink this water directly, but it pollutes the water table underground and gets mixed with the water of hand-pumps which is already heavily contaminated with arsenic.

Perhaps, the tsunami has done something to the sea and the fishes are gone.
