In Sapa, families and communities are tightly knit. The bonds are forged early and nurtured to last a lifetime.
Pictured here is a very young family – a 17 year old mother, her 19 year old husband and their beautiful new born.
This is a portrait of their typical day – taking turns to work in the tribes rice fields and spending time nurturing their child.
And when both of them need a break, there is always someone from the immediate family or the community, pitching in to shoulder the responsibility. 🙂
