How have the people of the community helped one another? What role do the women of Kalikuda play during these days?

The people of the community united and helped each other under a young leader Prashant. Together they pressurised the merchant to give rice for the people in the shelter. They gathered branches from fallen trees and lit a fire, on which they cooked rice for everyone to eat. When the military helicopter dropped some food parcels but did not return, they implemented a unique way to communicate with the passing helicopters. Children lied in the sand with the utensils on their stomachs to indicate they were hungry. The message went through and the helicopter made regular rounds of the shelter, airdropping food and other basic needs.
Women were given the responsibility to look after the orphans, while the men arranged food and materials for the shelter.
