These photos were taken during our volunteer experiences in the developing world since 2000, and in countries we lived in or visited since 1960.

Many laborers in Soutern India are women. These women are carrying buckets which will be filled with sand and/or cement for building. When filled, the buckets will be carried on their heads, and often they will have to climb a rudimentary ladder to get to second or third story. Women laborers get paid less than one half of what a male laborer would earn doing the same job.
