Sichuan Earthquake & Our Response
One Month.
It is now one month after 2.28pm, 12 May 2008.
The dust has settled in the disaster zone. The smell of epidemic-preventative lime is prevalent. It’s not as offensive as earlier on, when the stink of death polluted the air.
Soldiers, aid personnel, reporters, government officials,
volunteers, and even the victims are falling into a routine. The
place is no longer chaotic, or hectic. People move about, trying
to get back to life, albeit deliberately, yet quite aimlessly.
Children are attending make-shift schools in tents. Or just in
the open air. High school students are preparing to take the
National General Exams. Mothers and grandmothers set up open
fires to cook meals. Everyone is tired of the food handouts, or
instant noodles.
