Mrs. Parboti Chawra from Thepelaguri, said that, they lived and is living a misery life; they could not even afford to buy mosquito net, soaps, mats, tarpaulins. But as they received it from Caritas Germany as a relief they felt very happy because these things were highly necessary for her family, as they had no source of income to buy the materials, she said. She also mentioned that, the relief kits helped them replace their old torn mosquito net with new one, used the hygiene materials for two-three days. But unfortunately, again, the second phase of flood (16th June 2022) submerged the village more destructively then the previous flood which occurred just a month ago. As a result, they had left the village and gone to higher surface land area to keep them safe.

They carried Caritas Germany relief materials like tarpaulin, mats, mosquito nets and some soaps along with them and spent the night in tents. She said that, these materials really helped them in second phase of flood, to shelter and protects themselves. The saddest part is that they have, almost nothing left in their home now, neither food nor the materials to cook food, all these things had flown out over flood water, she mentioned. Thus,

She told that the materials greatly helped them in second phase of flood, as they could equip and use the kits to make tents and other use. Furthermore, she said that it was a great initiative by Caritas India, that they have provided these particular things, in view, as a future perspective for further use in times of need. The outcome of the flood relief was very good as well as pleasing, because they could equip themselves with the materials for safety and household/domestic use. After all it helped them a lot to protect themselves from rain and sun during second phase of flood, and also, after they are back home from camps, the kits were helpful to them because there is no proper place at home to sleep just because of wet and muddy surface. So they made tent out of relief kits and are spending their night.
