Salt of the Earth - My Scholarship entry

Ill Equipped workers (Agariyas) come from surrounding areas or move to the the Little Rann as labourers for the season, working in one of the harshest environments imaginable. A few have gumboots but most were were working in poor footwear, some in flip flops, some just barefoot with cracks and cuts on their feet. It's hot, heavy, hard work. Many Agariyas suffer with ill health, skin lesions, breathing problems and blindness.
