Ko
Min, 26 manually extracts oil from one of three 300 feet deep wells he
works on in the Minhla township of the Magwe district October 27, 2013.
Everyday Ko Min makes around $30 extracting crude oil from three small
wells after he bought rights to use
them for close to $1000 from a farmer who owns the land. In Myanmar, an
impoverished country rich with natural resources, people from poor
communities find ways to supplement their income by exploiting such
resources often using primitive and dangerous methods.
