HUGE SWATHES OF LAND, FARMS, AND

22
00:00:41,233 --> 00:00:44,033

FOUR MONTHS AFTER THE FLOOD,

THIS SCHOOL, LIKE SO MANY

00:00:49,433 --> 00:00:51,533
OTHERS, REMAINS INACCESSIBLE TO

00:00:51,533 --> 00:00:52,366

ITS FIRST FLOOR, STILL

28
00:00:53,433 --> 00:00:55,133
COMPLETELY INUNDATED.

00:00:55,133 --> 00:00:56,133
THE BUILDING USED TO BE

00:00:56,133 --> 00:00:57,400
SURROUNDED BY RICE FIELDS.

31
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:00,300
IT IS NOW SURROUNDED BY A LAKE.

00:01:00,300 --> 00:01:02,733
THE SCHOOL COMMUNITY IS NOW

ANIMAL LIVESTOCK HAS BEEN LOST,

38
00:01:13,666 --> 00:01:14,333
OUR HOMES HAVE COLLAPSED.

MY SON DIED.

00:01:15,533 --> 00:01:16,333
WE HAVE NOTHING.

00:01:16,333 --> 00:01:17,000
WE ARE JUST SITTING HERE

00:01:20,833 --> 00:01:22,600
MY BROTHER DIED IN THE FLOOD.

45
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:23,600
HE FELL IN THE RIVER AND DIED.

00:01:26,966 --> 00:01:30,033
CATACLYSMIC COMBINATION OF

48
00:01:30,033 --> 00:01:32,200

IT POURED WITHOUT INTERRUPTION

52
00:01:37,366 --> 00:01:38,300
FOR DAYS IN A ROW, OVERWHELMING

53
00:01:38,300 --> 00:01:40,800
A COUNTRY THAT WAS ILL PREPARED

54
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:41,766
AND UNDER RESOURCED.

55
00:01:41,766 --> 00:01:45,666

56
00:01:45,666 --> 00:01:46,566
CALAMITIES, EVERYONE IS

57
00:01:46,566 --> 00:01:47,766
AFFECTED.

58
00:01:47,766 --> 00:01:48,600
BUT WOMEN AND CHILDREN ARE

59
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:49,566
AFFECTED IN PARTICULAR.

60
00:01:49,566 --> 00:01:52,066
FRED: SHE HEADS A FOUNDATION

61
00:01:52,066 --> 00:01:53,033
FOCUSED ON DEVELOPMENT ISSUES.

62
00:01:53,033 --> 00:01:56,466
>> IN A SOCIETY WHERE SOCIAL

63
00:01:56,466 --> 00:01:58,233
SERVICES ARE ALMOST COMPLETELY

64
00:01:58,233 --> 00:01:59,200
ABSENT, AND A LOT OF PEOPLE

65
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:00,533
SURVIVE ON PHILIP ROBIE AND

66
00:02:00,533 --> 00:02:01,466
CHARITY.

67
00:02:01,466 --> 00:02:04,666
FRED: THE SCHOOL IS ONE EXAMPLE.

ONE OF 1800 RUN BY A PRIVATE

FOUNDATION.

71
00:02:09,266 --> 00:02:11,766
BEFORE THE FLOOD, SOME 700

72
00:02:11,766 --> 00:02:15,100
CHILDREN ATTENDED THE SCHOOL.

73
00:02:15,100 --> 00:02:16,100
NOW, ONLY ABOUT HALF THE

74
00:02:16,100 --> 00:02:18,800
STUDENTS HAVE RETURNED TO A

75
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:20,200
MAKESHIFT, MOSTLY OUTDOOR

76
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:21,300
FACILITY IN A COMMUNITY CENTER.

77
00:02:21,300 --> 00:02:25,066
>> THE CHILDREN ARE AN -- ARE IN

78
00:02:25,066 --> 00:02:27,300
EXTREME TRAUMA.

79
00:02:27,300 --> 00:02:30,166
THEY ARE SUFFERING FROM LOTS OF

80
00:02:30,166 --> 00:02:31,100
DIFFICULTIES.

81
00:02:31,100 --> 00:02:32,033
THEY DON'T HAVE PROPER HOMES OR

82
00:02:32,033 --> 00:02:32,966
FOOD TO ACHIEVE THEIR GOALS.

83
00:02:32,966 --> 00:02:36,333
FRED: THIS PRINCIPLE NO LONGER

84
00:02:36,333 --> 00:02:37,366
HAVE ACCESS TO THE LIBRARY,

85
00:02:37,366 --> 00:02:39,233
SCHOOL RECORDS, OR ELECTRICITY.

86
00:02:39,233 --> 00:02:43,200
BUT THEY PERSIST.

87
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:44,300
TRYING TO BRING SOME STABILITY

88
00:02:44,300 --> 00:02:47,266
TO THE CHILDREN'S LIVES.

89
00:02:47,266 --> 00:02:48,400
HOW MANY CHILDREN IN THE SCHOOL

90
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,466
TODAY HAVE EATEN LUNCH?

91
00:02:50,466 --> 00:02:53,366
>> A LOT OF CHILDREN HAVE NOT

92
00:02:53,366 --> 00:02:54,333
EATEN ANYTHING.

93
00:02:54,333 --> 00:02:57,966
FRED: MALNUTRITION HAS MADE IT

94
00:02:57,966 --> 00:02:58,966
THAT MUST WORK -- THAT MUCH

95
00:02:58,966 --> 00:03:00,066
WORSE BY LIVING CONDITION.

96
00:03:00,066 --> 00:03:02,400
STANDING WATER HAS DROWNED CROPS

97
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:06,066
AND SPAWNED PATHOGENS.

98
00:03:06,066 --> 00:03:07,000
MALARIA, SKIN AND DIARRHEAL

99
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:08,166
DISEASES HAVE ALL SOARED.

100
00:03:08,166 --> 00:03:10,100
ABOUT 500 CHILDREN HAVE BROUGHT

101
00:03:10,100 --> 00:03:12,900
- - HAVE BEEN BROUGHT INTO THE

102
00:03:12,900 --> 00:03:13,600
PEDIATRIC EMERGENCY ROOM EVERY

103
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:14,533
SINGLE DAY.

104
00:03:14,533 --> 00:03:15,700
THAT IS MORE THAN DOUBLE THE

105
00:03:15,700 --> 00:03:17,866
NUMBER PRIOR TO THE FLOOD.

106
00:03:17,866 --> 00:03:18,600
AND THEY ARE COMING IN FAR

107
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:20,033
SICKER.

108
00:03:20,033 --> 00:03:24,766
THIS ER IS RUN BY THE CHILDLIKE

THE COUNTRY.

114
00:03:32,633 --> 00:03:37,600
>> WE HAVE SEEN GASTROENTERITIS,

115
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:38,833
PNEUMONIA, AND MALARIA.

116
00:03:38,833 --> 00:03:41,933
FRED: THE DOCTOR WORKS IN THE

117
00:03:41,933 --> 00:03:44,166
LABOR AND DELIVERY AND NEONATAL

118
00:03:44,166 --> 00:03:45,100
UNITS.

119
00:03:45,100 --> 00:03:47,166
>> BUT NOW, THE MALARIA NUMBER

120
00:03:47,166 --> 00:03:49,600
HAS INCREASED.

121
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,566
THEY ALSO HAVE MALNUTRITION, AND

122
00:03:52,566 --> 00:03:57,566
ALSO -- BECAUSE A PREGNANT

123
00:03:58,900 --> 00:04:00,366
FEMALE, SHE IS NOT HAVING ENOUGH

124
00:04:00,366 --> 00:04:01,300
NUTRITION.

125
00:04:01,300 --> 00:04:04,866
FRED: ON THIS DAY, HE WAS

126
00:04:04,866 --> 00:04:06,700
DISCHARGING FOUR-MONTH-OLD BABY

127
00:04:06,700 --> 00:04:08,066
MOHAMMED, WHO WAS RUSHED HERE BY

128
00:04:08,066 --> 00:04:11,866
HIS PARENTS IN SEVERE BREATHING

129
00:04:11,866 --> 00:04:12,800
DISTRESS.

130
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:16,100
A DAY LATER WITH ANTIBIOTICS AND

131
00:04:16,100 --> 00:04:17,466
OXYGEN THERAPY, HE WAS

132
00:04:17,466 --> 00:04:18,366
STABILIZED, ABLE TO BREAST-FEED

133
00:04:18,366 --> 00:04:22,700
AND EAT ON HIS OWN.

134
00:04:22,700 --> 00:04:24,033
THE CARE PACKAGE OF NUTRITION

135
00:04:24,033 --> 00:04:28,100
SUPPLEMENTS WILL HELP A BIT, BUT

136
00:04:28,100 --> 00:04:29,066
YOUNG MALALA, SERIOUSLY

137
00:04:29,066 --> 00:04:33,300
UNDERWEIGHT AT 4.5 POUNDS, WAS

138
00:04:33,300 --> 00:04:34,233
HARDLY IN GOOD HEALTH AS HIS

139
00:04:34,233 --> 00:04:34,900
FAMILY BROUGHT HIM HOME FROM THE

140
00:04:34,900 --> 00:04:37,166
HOSPITAL.

141
00:04:37,166 --> 00:04:38,866
TO A TENT THAT SITS AMID THE

142
00:04:38,866 --> 00:04:40,900
RUBBLE OF THE HOME THEY LOST.

143
00:04:40,900 --> 00:04:42,133
IT COLLAPSED ON THE SECOND DAY

144
00:04:42,133 --> 00:04:43,566
OF THE RAINS.

145
00:04:43,566 --> 00:04:46,366
ALREADY DEEP IN DEBT FOR A

MOTORCYCLE TAXI BUSINESS, HIS

147
00:04:49,900 --> 00:04:50,666
FATHER HAS NO IDEA HOW THEY WILL

148
00:04:50,666 --> 00:04:52,000
REBUILD.

149
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,000
>> THE DOCTOR HAS SAID THAT WE

150
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,266
HAVE TO BE VERY CAREFUL OF

151
00:04:57,266 --> 00:04:58,200
CLEANLINESS.

152
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,133
WE HAVE TO KEEP THE CHILD WARM.

153
00:05:00,133 --> 00:05:00,833
WE HAVE TO ENSURE THE CHILD HAS

154
00:05:00,833 --> 00:05:02,700
MEDICATION.

155
00:05:02,700 --> 00:05:06,166
FRED: DOCTOR'S INSTRUCTIONS,

156
00:05:06,166 --> 00:05:07,166
THEY ARE NOT SURE THEY CAN

157
00:05:07,166 --> 00:05:08,533
AFFORD.

158
00:05:08,533 --> 00:05:09,700
TWO-YEAR-OLD -- THEIR

159
00:05:09,700 --> 00:05:10,633
TWO-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER HAS ALSO

160
00:05:10,633 --> 00:05:12,366
HAD HEALTH PROBLEMS, INCLUDING

161
00:05:12,366 --> 00:05:14,500
MALARIA, SAYS HER GRANDMOTHER

162
00:05:14,500 --> 00:05:17,866
WHO LIVES WITH THE YOUNG FAMILY.

163
00:05:17,866 --> 00:05:21,200
>> IT HAS BEEN A TOUGH TIME.

164
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:23,100
I'M A MOTHER.

165
00:05:23,100 --> 00:05:23,833
MY PRAYERS ARE THAT MY DAUGHTER

166
00:05:23,833 --> 00:05:28,833
HAS A GOOD LIFE.

167
00:05:29,633 --> 00:05:30,566
BUT SHE DOES NOT.

168
00:05:30,566 --> 00:05:31,500
WE NOW PRAY OUR GRANDCHILDREN

169
00:05:31,500 --> 00:05:33,233
WILL HAVE BETTER LIVES THAN

170
00:05:33,233 --> 00:05:34,166
THEIR MOTHER DOES.

171
00:05:34,166 --> 00:05:36,900
FRED: WHETHER THAT GENERATIONAL

172
00:05:36,900 --> 00:05:38,766
CYCLE OF HOPE AND DESPAIR FOR

173
00:05:38,766 --> 00:05:39,700
MILLIONS OF FAMILIES WILL BE

174
00:05:39,700 --> 00:05:41,400
BROKEN THIS TIME IS AN OPEN

175
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:42,500
QUESTION.

176
00:05:42,500 --> 00:05:43,466
SEE ME COME ALL IS SKEPTICAL.

177
00:05:43,466 --> 00:05:47,733
>> WE HAD FLOODS 10 YEARS AGO.

178
00:05:47,733 --> 00:05:48,433
WE NEVER LEARNED ANYTHING FROM

179
00:05:48,433 --> 00:05:49,700
IT.

180
00:05:49,700 --> 00:05:52,100
WE DON'T HAVE THE POLITICAL WILL

181
00:05:52,100 --> 00:05:55,166
TO ACTUALLY BUILD THE KIND OF

182
00:05:55,166 --> 00:05:57,200
LOCAL GOVERNMENT WE NEED, AND

183
00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:58,266
GOVERNMENT TO BE ABLE TO TACKLE

184
00:05:58,266 --> 00:06:00,766
THESE PROBLEMS, AND THEY ARE

185
00:06:00,766 --> 00:06:01,700
GOING TO KEEP HAPPENING.

186
00:06:01,700 --> 00:06:02,766
THAT DOES NOT MEAN WE DON'T TAKE

187
00:06:02,766 --> 00:06:05,066
ACTION.

188
00:06:05,066 --> 00:06:06,133
EACH ONE OF US HAS TO TAKE

189
00:06:06,133 --> 00:06:07,066
ACTION.

190
00:06:07,066 --> 00:06:09,766
BY SPEAKING, BY WRITING, BY
