Dong Chiem villagers transport agricultural produce by boat |
Boats and rafts are the only vehicles in sight these days
Farmer Lai Van Lao’s most valuable asset is this pair of pigs. The pigs are living on the roof while Lao and his family live in their flooded house (around 80cm water)
Dong Chiem village looks very nice in water, but behind that beauty is hardship for local people
These children have had to quit school
Water levels have gone down and some families are back home
Clothes and bedding are dried after nearly one week of rain
Most of Dong Chiem’s villagers are living on the dike, waiting for the water to recede
