Dike Building on Pakhiralay Island

Women from a local village on Pakhiralay Island form lines to pass mud as they desperately attempt to build a higher dike after rising sea levels destroyed the former one and collapsed the banks. Sea water has leaked into the adjacent rice field. It will take at least 2 years for the rice paddies to become fertile again. In turn this will affect the economy of the island so every able bodied islander helps through the night before the next high tide.
