Muslim children walk early on their first day of school and line up for the flag ceremony on June 10, 2008 in Datu Gumbay Piang Central Elementary School in the village of Buayan Datu Piang in Maguindanao province. And a Grade 5 teacher, Anisa Omar, gestures as she introduces herself to students in the same school.

And the ten-year old Jahariah Ibad writes on a notebook while she takes care of her younger sister inside a classroom in Datu Gumbay Piang Central Elementary School, where refugees are temporarily staying. Fighting among feuding Moro Islamic Liberation Front factions forced villagers to flee from their homes for fear they would be caught in the cross fire. (Mindanao Examiner Photo/Mark Navales)
