This is an account by Emmanuel Peni who lost his home due to floods in the Sepik region.
I lost my house this morning due to the floods amd the earthquake. At 9.30am, standing at this fancy hotel lobby, wearing H&M jeans and a shoe bought in Sydney 's QBV, and seeing people in png struggling gives me perspectives.
I just saw a disabled child walking by the hotel, at the gate, dressed in rags looking into the hotel with wonder and realised: the issue of my house falling over and collapse, due to flooding amd the earthquake last night, is by measure of human suffering, nothing. I long for peace.
This I know we can not attain, but this perspective keeps me going on and balances my loss and pain. ❤️❤️🙂❤️😎
The East Sepik Provincial government is responding to the disaster.
