100 days after NARGIS at Taw-Cheik village
(Near DAEDAYE)
Rice Contribution through Sangha
by
EQUITY
Journey from KwamChanGone to Tawcheik
2.5 hr water way
►Bent trees along river-lets of delta and straws hanging over that show where the tide-crest once reached
Victims( Cattle & Childeren)
► Gazing handicapped buffalo showing no mood to work, suffering suffocation with muddy lungs
► Weeping school girl showing no mood to go to school without pocket-money due to her disable father’s joblessness
First bridge of the village
► Palm-plank road approaching to first bridge, near jetty
►The bridge built by villagers with assorted palm-planks (betel & coconut) that once drifted along the crick
The second bridge of the village
► A road approaching to the Village made of bran-bags and single palm-planks
► The bridge connecting monastery & primary school more bumpy now an NGO's offer to reconstruct is allowed to accept, when its application letter of reconstruction needs to submit to a concerning ministry of the State
Schooling children ► Students from state
primary schools who got bags and hats from UNICEF, carrying Tiffin carriers from their homes
► Those of a monastery, no modern education, no bags & hats of UNICEF, no lunch box by the parents but survive with monks’ food & lessons provided and satisfied with donated hats by the local donors (EQUITY)
Rice and Hats Contribution
► Although people afraid of doing direct contribution to victims, but some do it through monks
► Scene of hats and rice contribution done by the local donors (EQUITY group) at the leading monastery of the community
Embankment & man-made cannel by the Sea
► A bridge of bamboo & betel
plank connecting between Rice fields & Sea-side where dead bodies of cyclone victims are once drifted overwhelmingly
► Carcass of a woman and a child hugging tightly was found and buried in-situ by their owners, now it reappears by the continuous monsoon rain-wash
Demanding stronger & bigger community-building
► Soft huts made by thatch roofs & bamboo, built urgently on Sea side as a usual way
► Strong buildings in religious compound that proved to rescue victims by providing shelters but having no enough room so new bigger ones of same type are being demanded in a long run
Difference bet. Actual boat size & that of state delivery
► Drifted ordinary boat-shed with wide keel showing that kind of shape and size actually fit for the region delta
► State provides boats of narrow keels (carried in groups by ordinary ones) with contracts; not allow to change its shape and form by owners, within some years onwards
Urgent need: Rice !!!!!!!!
► Unsuccessful nurseries (new-plantation) with empty spots
► People need rice as staple food till new crop collected (Dec 2008 and Jan of 2009)
► They are eagerly waiting for rice-contribution through monks’ administrations
