 Mithun, 11, carries a container full of dust on his shoulder at a laterite brick mine in Ratnagiri district, about 360km (224 miles) south of Mumbai, April 14, 2011. He is paid two Indian rupees ($0.04) per brick and carries an average of 100 bricks out of the mine each day. Each brick costs between 10-14 rupees ($0.22-$0.31), and weighs around 40 kg.
