Drilling oil by hand in Myanmar

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, such as the Minhla township, traditionally rich with
oil, often using primitive and dangerous methods.
