Life in a Cambodian rubbish dump
Amy Simmons, ABC News Online 11 November 2011 Just 30 kilometres from Cambodia's world famous Angkor temples is an astounding sight tourists don't see. Tucked away from foreign eyes on the outskirts of Siem Reap is a community of about 500 people who live - or survive - in a rubbish dump. Spanish photojournalist Omar Havana spent seven months from October 2010 to April 2011 getting to know the people at the dump and documenting their lives. He says what he saw was was "from another world", but that the people are happy. Here Havana shares his photos and stories with ABC News Online. |
