Photo journal: Ethiopian wood collector
No chopping trees

This is my friend Aregash Bayesa.

The eucalyptus leaves are used by people in the fire as they cook their injera bread, which Ethiopians eat at every meal.

What she has collected today will buy her some coffee and a bit of cereal for her children. Sometimes she goes to collect the leaves every day, sometimes only once a week.

It depends on whether her husband has managed to get work. We don�t chop down the trees because we are not allowed.
