THE RAINS REALLY HURT. WE

RAN AWAY FROM THE STORM.

IT FELT LIKE SEA WATER

WOULD ENGULF THE WHOLE

VILLAGE.

AFTER THE STORM, MONIQUE'S

HOUSE WAS GONE. TO ESCAPE THE

ELEMENTS THEY HUDDLED

TOGETHER

WITH THREE OTHER FAMILIES.

AT NIGHT, MOM AND DAD

WOULD

REST STANDING UP SO THE

CHILDREN CAN LIE DOWN.

THEY HAD NO FRESH DRINKING

WATER.

WE COULD NOT DRINK THE

WATER FROM THE OPEN GROUND.

IT

WAS VERY SALTY. I DIDN'T KNOW

HOW WE WERE ABLE TO RECOVER

FROM THE DISASTER.

WITHIN DAYS, CBN WAS ON

THE

GROUND PROVIDING EMERGENCY

FOOD AND SUPPLIES TO STORM

VICTIMS. WE SET UP A

TEMPORARY

DESALINATION PLANT TO CONVERT

SEA WATER TO FRESH DRINKING

WATER. A FEW DAYS LATER WE

DUG

A PERMANENT WELL FOR THE

COMMUNITY.

THE WATER TASTE AND FEELS

GOOD.

SOON CBN BUILT THE FAMILY

A

NEW HOUSE AS HE WOULD NEVER

HAVE THE MEANS TO BUILD ON

HIS

OWN. AS THE HOUSE WAS GOING

UP, THEY MADE NEW FURNITURE

AND SOON THE FAMILY MOVED IN.

I WAS SO HAPPY WE COULD

MOVE IN.

I'M SO GLAD FOR CBN'S

HELP.

NOW WE ARE BACK ON OUR FEET.

THANK YOU, CBN.
