Little sisters, Pia and Ria had been terrified when cyclone Yaas lashed at their shelter but it was when they saw their home that the tears streamed down their tender cheeks. Everything they owned was lost to the storm.
When relief reached them, the children got new tops and skirts. They never had new clothes before! They swirled and twirled their long flowy skirts and smiled so big that could brighten the dullest of hearts. The clothes brought them joy. They were a sign of hope, even during times of crisis.
Pachugopal Halder, a resident of Uttar Komrapara, Nagendrapur GP was happily living in his home with his father Mr. Bhagirath Halder, a wife, three daughters and a younger son. The Yaas cyclone caused a massive destruction to his home, his agricultural land was already flooded now, he was forced to take shelter on roads, at that point of time Mukti intervened with the support from Kolkata Gives and provided 100 days of man power to him during River embankment project, in place of that he received dry ration support funded by Kolkata Gives. He is now rebuilding his life once again.
