and this high school classroom has been his first home, a makeshift helter in a village, holding around 300 people now. helpless in the face of nature s fury, he and his family have no choice but to wait it out. i m worried, his mother tells me, handling the situation with a baby makes it more difficult. i m concerned about him and worried that if my home is affected, what will i do then? in this village, 13 kilometres away from where the cyclone is expected to hit, this family, among hundreds of others, has to leave. they don t know when they will come back. the 70 year old has seen it all, too many times. cyclones are common in these parts, but it s been over two decades since she was asked to move to a shelter home. women and children first as they head toward safety in a school bus, leaving their hearts and minds back at home.
