Brick By Brick

A gypsy child attempts to climb a pile of handmade bricks in the village of Dealu, north of Bucharest, Romania, on a hot day Wednesday, Aug. 13 2008. Romanian Gypsy families manufacture bricks braving temperatures as hot as 100 degrees and living in makeshift shelters. The bricks sell for about 17 cents a piece. Romania, a European Union member, is home to a large Gypsy, or Roma, community.
