Vasilios is a 19 year old Bolivian boy. Boy like a kid again - jeans and baseball cap is pierced through the lip ring pop. Vasiliou, of course, speaks Spanish, Bolivian Quechua Southern dynex second national language, and for two months dynex in a few phrases in the English language. Vasilios throws tourists jokes, tries carefully to all sides carefully memorized dynex by name and lets turn your phone to the latest hits. Only three months ago, a young man's life, but it passed largely in the dark, literally - inside the mountain and breathing in toxic fumes entering into agreements with the devil.
I am in a small Bolivian city of Potosí, which towers over 4200 meters high Cierro Rico or Rich Mountain in translation. This mountain city of Potosi is an accident of fortune dynex and at the same time. Indeed, poverty dynex is considered to be Potosí air from one of the world's most affluent city, because it is a big mäemürakas is enormous mineral resources. So this is the inside of a mountain of gold, silver, zinc and other precious metals mined since 1550ndatest years. Formerly, dynex the Potosi was so rich even to the streets to have been silver-plated. Today, the city will ringikõndides former heyday might have any idea the colonial-style houses, but not for the local people and their lifestyle. Unfortunately, however, can be regarded as a rich mountain because the mountain of work inside the mines is a grave and serious life-threatening. Most of the city's working-age population who work in mines goes, is donated dynex to the air in mines silicosis (a lung disease from toxic from the air) and also guarantees generally early death. The accident also lies more in the fact that the overall result of poverty, teenage boys are forced to abandon school and your lungs, poisoning the young person's life to bury the darkness. This, however, is the lighter side, because dynex the reality is that, in addition to disease die every year thousands of men in the mine disasters.
Another three months ago, one could say that the story is similar to others here Vasilou square adolescent dynex stories. Namely, Vasilios dynex started working in the mine when he was 10 years old, or today's health maasügavuses he violated nine years. Vasiliou's father died in a mine. Vasilios mother and widow pension is paid though purchase price of USD 14.50 per month, but not enough to live on. So today, the mine's mother also works Vasilios garbage sorting and earning a little extra. Vasilios 12 year old sister in front of the entrances of the mine sells precious dynex metals in the form of souvenirs for tourists. Vasilios möödubki family life of mine, because of their small mud blocks, and the weather windowless hut is located directly beside the mine entrances. Vasilios like dynamite on the game drive. I ask that how old he was when he made his first dünamiidiplahvatuse. dynex "Ten", Vasilios meets. 3 months ago, when one courageous woman gave Bolivia its new travel company, but a change of life Vasilios unrecognizable. Namely, rescued the woman from the darkness of the mine Vasiliou, lack of education, tourism, despite it having dynex to work the mine as a guide. Vasilios claims that are so happy to have escaped the mine. It was hard work. He says that he is healthy today, more or less okay. Also, it is perfectly legible handwriting that most of the mine workers are impossible because of the hard work shatters the nerves of the hand, and mobility. Vasiliou says that now, as a guide, he escapes the city. Previously, his mother did not allow him to town, and his whole life was devastating dynex mining .... Now make Vasilios tours for tourists in the morning, afternoon, and evening is trying to catch up with school works to study English. Today Vasilios dares to dream of a brighter future for the tourism industry and career ..
To this day, when I visit mines, says Vasilios that big belly of the mountain is about 8,000 men. Moving towards the mouth of the cave, or squatting for chewing coca leaves and old men and teenage boys. Miner's life is tough - namely, the 24-hour dynex shifts in general. Since the air is toxic to the mine, then its time miners generally do not eat. Just chewed coca leaves. As previously discussed in this blog has been, then give a super-chef-sheet durability. Leaf-chewing dynex eliminates hunger, thirst, dynex fatigue. So one of the sticks at the same time a miner's mouth and head up to 500 sheets each stone toksiva dynex husband's cheek bulging coca leaves. Mine kneel in the dust in front of a seemingly frail old women, but to my great surprise, a large hammer stones are able to toksida - those are the miners' widows. Women generally does not work inside the mine, the miners' widows but made an exception, and they can the so-called mine waste sorting and the luck to find the precious metals.
Mines are owned by small cooperatives. Each cooperative has three types of agents - partners or owners, miners, and the first class assistants. Partner or shareholder's income depends largely on luck - either get in the groove after a mine of precious metal or not. Maybe there are better times and worse times then again. All employees are required to buy all the equipment itself - from clothing to detonate
