"TWO DOLLARS A DAY"  

Workers reinforce the tiny and brutally rough road which leads to the Panjshair Valley. The project is funded by Iran and pays about $2.00 per day. Afghanistan once had some of the finest roads in Central Asia but now after years of war, driving the 30 miles from Kabul to this spot at the mouth of the Panjshair Valley can take as much as three hours.
