Government pays the women to do social beneficiary work.

They get paid a pittance to keep them busy.

The girlfriends love to be in the picture.

The task is to remove weeds and prepare a plot for flowers.

This is the reconnaissance team: cleaning up before the main force arrives.

Dirt needs to be removed.

Dirt is carried away on the women's heads.

And dumped fifty meters farther.

It is a balance act.

Everybody loves to meet the Westerners.

And have their portraits taken.

And have their portraits taken.

And have their portraits taken.

And have their portraits taken.

And have their portraits taken.

And have their portraits taken.

And have their portraits taken.

And have their portraits taken.

And have their portraits taken.

And have their portraits taken.
