Tala waterlogging

Coming back into town we past some public areas crammed with people living in temporary camps.  We stopped and met a few people.  First is Babu Ram.  He and his family have been in this temporary camp for three months.  The road to their house is under water and their porch has turned to mud.  

Walking further down the road we came to another camp.  People came quickly to meet us.  Here are some of the faces I saw.

And last but not least.... here is baby Bona... meaning flood.  She is so named because she was born into this camp during the flood.  You may notice her mom looks like she should be playing with dolls rather than having a baby.  Unfortunately, natural disasters exacerbate social problems such as early marriage, child labour, ... as families often don't have the resources to provide for their children any other way.
