Young boy rides motorcycle trailer in Cambodia

  • 4 years ago
A young boy was seen riding a motorcycle at night with a huge pile of trash loaded onto a trailer.

The lad - believed to be five-years-old - waved to passing drivers with an innocent look on his face while concentrating on the road in Phnom Penh, Cambodia on June 18.

Onlooker Sovichea, who was riding to a restaurant with a group of friends, said: "The child is probably helping his parents to get more money for living expenses.''

Cambodia has been under lower middle-income status these past two decades and approximately four million citizens are on the brink of poverty.
