A Day's Work:
Dzhankhot Hashiyev, 11 and Anzor Magaziyev, 10, carry the frame of a Russian rocket to a metal collecting station which buys and sells scrap metal. To make money, many Grozny residents have resorted to collecting metal, selling bootlegged gas or collecting bricks from destroyed houses to sell to those rebuilding their homes. After a day's work, metal collectors, who are mostly women and children, sometimes will only receive enough money to buy a loaf of bread. Scavenging for metal is among the most dangerous of jobs since metal collectors often unwittingly set off landmines during their search.
