Schoolkids Reenact Cyclone Aila in Koyra, Bangladesh

In a BRAC school in Koyra, Khulna, Bangladesh that was devastated by Cyclone Aila in 2009. The kids had created this Reenactment of Cyclone Aila...I'm no expert in Bangla but the basic gist is:

People cut down trees. A Cyclone comes (You can hearing the kids making vicious wind sounds). The remaining trees fall down due to lack of protection. The people suffer. The land floods with storm surge. The same people who cut down trees are sad. There is no food and water.

But the people are resilient. And they rebuild again.

Heartbreaking to watch in a certain way because many of these kids were on a road or other higher ground during the storm. There are very few storm shelters...To imagine myself on a road with a Cyclone coming through...I just can't imagine it...

And sorry, I wish I wasn't talking in the video...but there you go.
