Since the flood, Salfina's workload has doubled. She has to do everything on her own. I have to go and collect house building material and then build the house on my own. I still have to make sure that my family gets something to eat. Many times I am forced to go hungry and give what I have to my children.
Life revolves around survival.
I have to fetch water and tend to the fields. Salfina will not move to higher ground. She will build a new house at the same place that was flooded even though she risks losing everything again. Many people heard flood warnings on the radio or from government officials with megaphones in town, but they didn't believe what the government said. None of us had ever seen anything like this.
