The
people of the community helped one another by joining hands under the
leadership of Prashant. They jointly pressurized the merchant to give
rice as everybody was starving. A fire was lighted to cook the rice.
It was the first time after the cyclone had hit the area that
everyone ate their fill. A team of youth volunteers was organized to
clean the shelter and to tend to the wounds and fractures of the
people who had been injured because of the cyclone.
When
the military
helicopter dropped some food parcels but did not return, the youth
task force gathered empty utensils from the shelter and deputed the
children to lie in the sand with these utensils on their stomachs to
communicate to the passing helicopters that they were hungry.
The
women of Kalikuda looked
after the orphaned children. Though they became grief-stricken after
a few days, on Prashant’s insistence, they also started working
in the food-for-work programme started by an NGO.
