Ahmad Jawead, 22, left, Rahimullah, 27, center, and Burhan Amin, 26, right, share a breakfast of cream, bread, jam and tea as they make the day's bread on a gas burner in their stone one-room home in the mountains next to the mine they work above the Panjshir Valley village of Khenj, Afghanistan on Wednesday, October 24, 2007. Ahmad Jawead and Burhan Amin are cousins and hire Rahimullah to help with the work of the mines. Teams of five to ten men, sometimes friends or family, work as partners in the mines.
