Anchors of Hope

After the cyclone, our rescue ship dropped its anchor at the small Chandpur harbor. The water was still murky, as if the river wanted to absorb every sorrow inside the houses. Rima felt how deeply the disaster had affected everyone. Yet she was not afraid and smiled to keep their spirits high. They steered the boat to the other side across the broken road. Their first action was to move the elders to safety. The volunteer boys stayed active all day long. They updated every list with the actual status on the ground. The senior officer said they must advise the new teams right away. The organization's rescue crew pulled a family out from under the bridge. A temporary shelter was built in Karim bhai's yard. Rima stared at the collapsed bridge and took a deep breath. Floodwater meant the damage inside many homes was still damp. Even so, they kept delivering the food supply to every household. They recorded each victim's name, age, and needs. A neighboring squad arrived with fresh boats. An urgent message crackled over the radio about another possible storm. So they asked nearby villages to cooperate quickly. Rima told the medical unit to assist any injured people at once. Finally, the marine department's light boat patrolled the entire area.
