Sisyphean Labour

Sisyphean labour and Young boy at work shows the typical work of children and women in Burma: Building streets. Even the heavy work like, carrying the rocks, is accomplished by them. They work hours and hours without shadow and clean water in the middle of nowhere. Often, when a road is accomplished, they have to start all over again because the riverbeds distroy the layers underneath. These photos were taken secretely because the military supervisors of the government controled the whole scenery. These pictures were never before published.
