Fourth-grader Akhi joins her mother every day after school to lend a hand in the risky job of breaking bricks, just so her mother can go home a little sooner, after earning a daily income of Tk 250-300. Many workers in the profession are forced to use improvised protective gear as they are given none, leaving them susceptible to frequent injuries. The photo was taken from Bakchor area near Jurain recently. Photo: Anisur Rahman
