Communications finally came back but were shaky as always. The extent of the damage was becoming clear: flattened crops, maize, rice, bananas, and vegetable crops, cassava – all gone.
Despite the challenges brought by the storm, there is a deep sense of gratitude that Bendum was able to pull through and for the moments of joy in being together as a community. There is also a great appreciation for how the community, especially the youth, responded to the needs of those affected by the storm.
