A series of the great philosophers to all present and future enlightenment says progresses in our hands in that news. So its really, its up to us, our series project, enlightenment starts october 5th on d w. Youre watching d w news, asia coming up today. Parts of focused on it continue to struggle one year after devastating floods. Children and their access to schools have been one of the biggest challenges, will explain why plus cowboys of the east atkins on horseback play a game that has endured for hundreds, some say thousands of years. The my name is melissa chan, thanks for joining us. One year after the catastrophic floods in pakistan, life and the disaster head regions have not resumed to normal levels. And children have been the ones most impacted by that lasting damage. Specifically access to education. Some 27000 schools were destroyed by those floods and many remain closed due to the lack of clean water and sanitation. According to united nations, figures thats prevented roughly 2000000 children from showing up in classrooms, dw is being his job. It reports been the floods had last year and her family had no choice but to be there who hadnt died life a booted word, but then youd always miss the most was going to school as wanted to see did the family done back to that home in a village in southern center, robbins, the focused on things that finally be given back to normal. Going this morning. No start with preparing for her school. We had ordered school in the village, a student damaged from the flag border, which means she has to walk 3 to 4 to meet us to reach her new school in another village. She sometimes joins a group of other goods from her village. Welcome to good. That is safe for my studies. Were going really well. Then we were suddenly hit by floods. Say, i might have been off to that. I was unable to meet my friends. I cried a lot. I used to miss my home. And my school body, i that i need to set that up. This is really a pretty soon school in the vicinity or for religious one reason they didnt know sending with children and especially goes to the school. Its because the school has toilet facilities. Yeah. A lot of gum photo while you was lucky was it, had destroyed the boundary rules of the school and the toilet. I felt that when we opened the school, only a 100 students were coming and know girls are the other guy gone when we spoke to the parents me, the doctor said they constant that go to the toilets had moved boundary will i do sort of but you really of actually, what can we better not unless i like how many bedrooms by meet the teachers and students can use bushes as mix of toilets. It is supposedly unacceptable for goods without proper toilet facilities. The safety of goods is that shift. They can be of harassment and also diseases like caught up a few months ago. The School Management was able to be sent to a need for goods, but the head buffalo pick and choose themes running what the school is there be a blessing and 32 because have been Duct Cleaning if practices to ensure they dont fall sick. This school in a nearby village has been completely damaged, was washed away. Toilets and furniture completely destroyed. This was the only school for the local community to go to your school buttons at the school building. If this has been rebuilt, some, if it had a washroom facilities, so then the girls from this village and you wouldnt have to travel for long. But last time it was the treaty room, john, and there are incidents of street dogs fighting people sort of the men. So its important side of the schools and local villages will become a functional, easier for girls to reach him. Dont get to school somebody. Right, when the funds to know the whole j w that theyre missing out and education is still the, the for many in very contin its going to finally because there are no toilets in the school. But my mother asked me not to attend the school, have to go to mitchell, could end up doing thousands of damage, school themes. The future for an entire deviation is adrift. And every effort going in ensuring a Bright Future at least for some of the students. Joining us from is lum about is our if job, our con pockets done director of water aid. Thanks for coming on the program we, we just saw a report and looking at the long term influence of last year is floods. Particularly when it comes to education, access to clean water and sanitation see to be preventing many students from attending schools. How quickly are facilities being built to get children back into classrooms says, well actually this is jason. Is that you see the it was uh, it is easy to little funding at the moment because then you know, go to geneva like a conference in january and did almost 10000000. 00 at a place. But only if you dont want her to be in had be disbursed so far. So because of that, i think and, and also i think with the everything in the head that is happening around the globe children that did as 2 schools we, we do know what his education facilities especially are lacking in because of their children. That still some kids are not still out of school, so i think youd have it covered fully. Uh and it are still issues on the ground. It sounds like a lot of money thats still waiting to be disbursed. How quickly do think this will happen . It must be very frustrating for parents who want to send their children to school as, as soon as possible. I to yeah, actually you see, it is its, its actually a coordinate problem that was existed featured by the flat. So for example, goes especially heavy shoes with access to it, see those, any patient facilities in, in a number of schools in washington, sanitation sits in facilities. Our liking especially is education because goes actually sometimes dont go to school due to use basically this patient is any like doing the normal dis, sanitation is a serious issue for them. So yes, it is quite frustrating for everyone. And i think that didnt, unless you know, the funding flows have been has to the level that was based uh in, in, in, in, in geneva. I think, you know, this progress can still be smooth. So i think the key is around making sure that data is monday, can begin to support the government and support the local communities in making sure that was interesting to that is that was destroyed is the ability to do that. The benefits as quickly as possible, because remember there was another sees that are flooding this here, or there it was. Localize was the plastics. But i think the situation was again, its estimated by the clips. Itd be see it as well. And so it was not just, you know, related to it is in by august. Um, it was also because by august uh, you know, most of the dealers uh dealers. Uh, the number of dealers coming from india it was, or do they need to buy get started. So that also was localized learning and also learning and some editors that had not previously received a lot of. Lets make the switch slip legend biase bars that you know, that hadnt received a lot of water in the last few years. But this year again, be able to see those pending in those lives also. So it does have continuous struggling for the communities living in these areas. And how does an organizations like yours plan when we face this unpredictable, quote, a Global Climate emergency. You talk about the floods that keep coming, right . Not just the big one from last year, but of smaller incidents that you have to sort of contend with. Yes, well, actually work at Different Levels on the ground. For example, the work especially on making sure that the water, sanitation and id facilities that is stored in the leg effective communities. And then using that experience, i agree tried to highlight with the government as well as with the daughters that this is a serious issue. And especially, i think, you know, in the, in, in, for example, in club 28. 00, we are looking at the one issue of how Climate Change is infecting the situation in the country. Is life focused on and how, you know, the National Community can support the situation where, you know, if i could sign is initial recipient of Climate Change affects both long term as well as in terms of being struck in this in terms itd be the team events so we could do the less than one percent to the carbon emissions, but its the impact of what is happening beyond that. But these are these that you think that goes any, take the, those governments who should take this possibility for, for taking up the lord that the people that the government off i guess on are taking iris con of water a thank you so much for joining us. Galloping on a horse can be tough enough on its own, but in afghanistan, writers play an ancient sport called nancy boxy, or tent, pegging that require speed and coordination. The ancient art of neza by the or 10, pegging is easy to follow, yet fiendishly difficult to play. Its a sport requiring terrific equestrian skill and coordination.
