Wooden tablets with Koranic verses rest in an open-air school room adjacent to where children play in the village of Senii, northwest of Monrovia, Liberia on April 25, 2012. This isolated community has been completely surrounded by a portion of Sime Darby's 220,000 hectare palm oil plantation. A village elder says that the communities cassava fields were plowed under by Sime Darby crews clearing the land. (Photo by Peter Power/The Globe and Mail)
