The damage caused by Super Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines destroyed homes across the countries and the boats the fisherman rely up for their work. One man, Jimmy Obaldo, was inspired to build a boat out of the refrigerator that his children used for playing. The images of the fridge boat in use were captured by Reuters photographer Damir Sagolj.
While the story of the Philippines and the reality on the ground shifts from relief to recovery, these images are a good reminder of can be done in even the most limited circumstances. The recovery will be led by the Filipino government and people like Obaldo.
