Poverty in Kazakhstan

This is a clear example of how poverty can be seen in a capital city of Kazakhstan. This man is a rubbish collector. He travels around the city every day, in order to find rubbish, such as bottles, paper, and old clothes, so he can later sell them and earn some money to survive. [Photo was taken by an Australian student Liya Mirzaeva in Almaty, Kazakhstan on May 1, 2012.]
