Earning extra money

Here I am helping my friend Rkhya harvesting wheat. Rkhya's family owns a hectare of land about four hours from the village by foot. At harvest time she and her husband come down here for three weeks to work on the land. At night they sleep in a small hut they constructed with stones they found in the area.

When I need extra income, I look for farmers who need help with the harvest and in exchange for the work thay give me part of the harvest.
