Lights of Resilience

In the cyclone Aila-affected coastal village of Gabura, where darkness descends swiftly after sunset, a group of over 20 talented students defies adversity to continue their night school. Struggling with the aftermath of saline water and daily tasks like fishing and fetching fresh water, they rely on dim kerosene lamps, candles, and flickering torchlight for education. Despite the harmful smoke and eye irritation, their determination transforms these fragile lights into beacons of renewal. This image captures the quiet strength and hope of a community rising from hardship, inspiring a brighter future through the enduring spirit of learning.
