SENEGAL GARBAGE SLUM

A boy walks by a house that has been buried almost all the way up to the roof in the Medina Gounass neighborhood of Guediawaye, Senegal on Thursday April 30, 2009. Packed garbage and dirt are used as filler to raise the ground in a part of town which is prone to flooding. (Olivier Asselin for the New York Times)
