Work: Photography coverage

 

This photo essay, published in the Bangkok Post, follows nine-year-old Abdulloh Daengdaman from Yala province as he navigates the aftermath of severe flooding, striving to continue his education and pursue his dream of becoming a nurse. I captured his story through a series of images, including scenes at his school, which was also damaged by the flood. The story sheds light on the broader challenges faced by children in climate-affected regions of Thailand.
