Testimonials

Mrs Shefali Das share her sad moments during Flood, I was at home when the floods came. It was 3 o’clock in the morning on the Sunday of the flood when I woke up. By the time I was out of the house, the water was up to my chest. I waded, trying very hard to find the road. When I get armies with Boat I got courage and finally reached to highland. That’s how I got here. My whole family ran away but we left everything behind. Then, when I first got here, I stayed in the ‘club house’ here in Jathera. But so many people came there after me that I moved to Camp 2. But we don’t have enough shelter here from the rain, and even food sometimes we can’t find. She Thanks Caritas India for giving support by giving Hygiene Kits which is very much helpful for them.
