The Sudden Storm Sent Us Flying

Tweet

Our foster home community was gathered for the Sunday evening prayer, when the storm began. I ran to my house to fasten the windows and doors to stop them banging and to save the glass panes from breaking. It was a short storm. It was over in ten minutes but it gave us awful lot of extra work. The whole campus was covered with leaves fallen from the trees. In the morning , I collected about 5kg of drumsticks ( moringa stick). Soon after the morning exercise, we began sweeping the campus. In the school campus I saw seven women sweeping the leaves and dried mango flowers which were littered all around. During the games time ( 4 to 5:30) we cleaned the playground. The gathered leaves made a little mountain. The storm didn't do any damage but a damaging one may visit us any day from March to May. The dreaded " Kaal Baishakhi" hits our region this time of the year. Meanwhile, I am grateful that plants and trees are now wearing a fresh and green look!
