Description Location:  Islamabad, Pakistan

I watched old man carrying his bundle of firewood for quite some distance.  It is a shame that so many people in the Capital city of Pakistan still have to resort to scavenging firewood.  I know that in families this job is left to the women or young children, while men go and seek work as  daily wage labourers.

I asked him why, and he replied I have no wife or children .. I must gather firewood for the whole week on sundays and on sundays I earn no wage.

A great picture, I find it hard to describe the emotions it causes in me, even more than the other pictures you took of him.
