Here we find a "modern" brick factory.
 |
| Rice husks are carried in to fuel the kiln. |
 |
| Hand carts move the stock around as the bricks dry. |
 |
| Clay is fed into an extruder. |
 |
| Bricks come out the other end. |
 |
| Most of the people who lug the bricks are women. They have little education and work for extra income (about US $6 per day). They wear layers of clothing to protect their skin, but have open sandals on their feet. |
