On November 25, 2021, we visited Wayan Wage at her house. Some updates are as follows;
- Several asbestos roofs were damaged by falling coconut tree branches. As a result, the house is leaking and cannot be occupied when it rains. For a while she sleeps in the kitchen.
- We have asked local volunteers to make repairs as soon as possible.
- Other condition is still the same, nothing has changed.
Here’s some documentation.
