Rachel is fine, despite passage of cyclone
Rachel’s dad got an email this afternoon saying that Rachel and a couple of other colleagues/volunteers? were in a sturdy concrete building in M and were fine. A cyclone appears to have done considerable damage elsewhere in the island, but by the time it reached M it is said to have lost a good deal of its force. We will post more when we hear from her.
[To read what really happened–Rachel was not able to get to M so had to leave the village with village friends to escape the flooding–see postings in June of letters Rachel wrote during and after the March cyclone, received in the U.S. two months late.]
