Two villages were divided by a road, one village is still under water and another is more developed. That village is still underwater because of the environmental situation and its location near the river.<\/p>\n<div class=\"show_more\"><p class=\"wpsm-show\" style=\"color: #cc0000; font-size: 100%; text-align: left;\"> show more<\/p><div class=\"wpsm-content\"><\/p>\n<p>I was also surprised when I saw a mother with three sons. One son was an AGM at the Bangladesh Bank, another was a Supreme Court advocate and the third was a businessman. They don\u2019t contribute to their family at all &#8211; not even to their mother. They don\u2019t help financially &#8211; not even a single taka. To hear that was very difficult and it never stops to bring tears to my eyes. Some people never build or construct a building because of the cyclone of the floor. This is because these types of events keep happening. They know that if they build a house this month that next month another cyclone or flood may come. What is the point?<\/p>\n<p>To sum it up, I learnt a lot during my visits to these places. One question always returns to me: how do people live? How do they survive? But still, they do survive. They are the actual fighter.<\/p>\n<p> <p class=\"wpsm-hide\" style=\"color: #cc0000; font-size: 100%; text-align: left;\"> show less<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Md.
