Taste of Rain
Photograph by Steve Winter

After months of dry, sweltering days, a young girl feasts on the first monsoon rains in the village of Eya, where the Irrawaddy meets the Andaman Sea. Filling her belly with food is not so easy. An estimated one-third of Myanmar's children suffer from malnutrition, often surviving on a few bowls of rice a day.
