St Vincent volcano evacuees resigned to life in shelters
Searchlight newspaper, SVG, for Newsday
From movie nights to exercise routines, each emergency shelter that hosts evacuees is different. And although the occupants can only be so comfortable in a communal setting away from home, they are making do in the shelters that house evacuees from the red zone around St Vincent s La Soufriere volcano.
The volcano began erupting on April 9, for the first time since 1979.
On May 12, no fewer than ten small children were running around in a small courtyard at the Brighton Methodist School, kicking and bouncing balls, while adults sat on benches nearby. It is said that over 30 children are staying at the shelter, most from Orange Hill, a northeastern village in the red hazard zone.
