Fortunately, the classroom walls proved to be very solid, allowing the buildings to serve as emergency shelters for affected families during the cyclone.

Clothing was also distributed where needed, in addition to food and construction supplies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">After the most urgent clean-up work, classes resumed on 17 June 2019.
