This young girl spends her morning carrying a big rice bag around to fill with paper and plastic for recycling.   Though part of the many poor in Dhaka, she still knows how to smile.

This young girl is a rag-picker.  She goes out every morning to collect recyclable items such as paper and plastic to sell.  The rag-pickers typically are carrying a big burlap bag which hopefully gets filled!
