four women carrying file of bananas

We were on our medical mission trip in Sitio Linyama, Bongabong, Oriental Mindoro, Philippines when I saw this family arrive to the place where they dump all the bananas they have collected from the mountains. They sell these for P20.00 ($0.40) per bundle of bananas. They will use the money to buy rice to feed their stomachs for the day. What stirs me in this photo is how happy they still look after a long day of hard work. That just melts my heart.
