This woman is a recycler on the streets of Phnom Penh.
Whenever she comes across one of the numerous rubbish heaps, she rests her baby in the little hammock hanging from the cart's handle bars right behind her, before diving into the garbageĀ looking for old plastic bottles and empty beer cans which she collects in that cart. When it is full someone will give her 12 and a half cent for every 200 plastic bottles.
At night she parks her cart in an alleyway near the temple and right next to it, creates a private space for herself and the baby, using a tarpaulin -now hidden in the red bag with the cheerful polka dots.
Her life is a tough one!
Yet, if you look at her face you can sense a vast amount of love and happiness.
