Wailea Settlment, Near Suva, Fiji | 2011
Sambhu Lal, 69, worked for thirty-three years at the Labasa sugar mill while his family cut sugar cane. Their land lease expired in 2004 and was not renewed, forcing them to move to the outskirts of Suva, where his son now works in a sawmill. He transported his house by truck and boat from Labasa and reassembled it on leased land in a squatter settlement popular with displaced cane farmers.
