Families In Bangaldesh Learn to Cope with Storms And Cyclones
This article talks about how families in different areas of southern
Bangladesh are going through a struggle to get back on their feet after the
constant blows of Mother Nature. Within the article, it talks about how areas
on the low-lying coastal plains of southern Bangladesh are more exposed to the
blows of Mother Nature. The Bay of Bengal sits near climate change and
recurring natural disasters; however, this is where most of the farming
families are. There have been multiple Mother Nature attacks where the poor
people living in areas that are highly affected have been effected the most. In
the article, a mother talks about her first hand encounters dealing with the
act of trying to reach a safety mark with her kids. Many families are being
helped to cope with these situations. The Government of Bangladesh is trying to
provide training and food and cash for work programs, as said in the article.
They are hoping that these programs and education will help increase the
building or updating of the community. Another project and or program that they
are continuing to improve is the “Enhancing Resilience (ER)” program. This
program is a major priority in which the government plans to improve food
security and protection against climate change.
This article is very inspiring. It shows that the government is trying to
improve the living conditions for their people. This would be by educating them
on what they can do to when Mother Nature tries to strike. In this day in time,
education is basically everything. Giving people the education on how they can
benefit themselves when a situation like this comes, they can get themselves
further than they ever thought was possible. It also gives them hope that they
CAN!!
