Tucked away from foreign eyes on the outskirts of Siem Reap is a community of about 500 people who live - or survive - in a rubbish dump. Spanish photojournalist Omar Havana spent seven months from October 2010 to April 2011 getting to know the people at the dump and documenting their lives. He says what he saw was was "from another world", but that the people are happy. Here Havana shares his photos and stories with ABC News Online. (read on) An amazing set of photos so I went looking for more info about Omar Havana Omar Havana website Omar Havana's photo website Omar Havana on Youtube |

Havana obviously has such compassion and talent; he is able to show beauty in such a place most would find so abhorrent. It is good he shares his work and the internet makes it available to so many. Thank you, Sandra, kat |
