This handout photo released by World Press Photo and taken by US photographer Micah Albert of Redux Images shows a woman who works as a trash picker at the 30-acre dump, which literally spills into households of one million people living in nearby slums, reading a book she came across on April 3, 2012 in Nairobi. This photo won the first prize in the Contemporary Issues single category in the World Press Photo 2012 contest.
