A winner of the Peninsula Photography Competition in the Travel Photography category. We visited an informal housing settlement inhabited by people displaced by the devastating 2008 typhoon.

Here, children are filling containers with water from the lake and carrying 40 kg (88 pounds) of water, often more than their body weight, several miles to their families' homes.
