Little Heroes

12-01-29 -- ANEHO, TOGO -- Boys carry empty 240 litre barrels to a warehouse near the Togo-Benin border where tens of thousands of litres of illegal fuel are stored. A smuggler, who declined giving his name, said the illegal fuel trade provides valuable jobs in a country where a large percentage of the population makes less than $1 USD per day. "This continent is suffering too much. Fuel smuggling gives a job to a mother and allows her to send her son to school." Photo by Daniel Hayduk
