SIX YEAR OLD ZABI CARRIES BRICKS AT A SMALL BRICK FACTORY NEAR KABUL

Six year-old Zabi carries ready made bricks as he works in a small brick factory near Kabul airport December 12, 2001. Child labor is endemic in Afghanistan, where 23 years of war, three years of drought and the absence of a conventional economy have made the central Asian country one of the world's poorest.
