Disaster struck half-way around the world, and yet it has resonance from right within our community. Chennai in India suffered devastating floods which many are still recovering from. Adityaa Mohan, a grad student studying at UNB, comes from Chennai, and stopped by the station to tell us his story of keeping track of family and friends throughout this ordeal, and the subsequent rush of support and kindness that is coming as much from the people on the ground as well as the international community.
Adityaa shared a few links that he feels help to further illustrate the story, and lead to some places to help as well:
- #ChennaiMicro (Facebook) has been a hashtag tracking a lot of the efforts so far, and the needs.
- Videos and photos of some of the devastation (warning, images contain bodies).
- TamilTV (video)
- Dinakaran Daily Newspaper (photo)
- Chennai Memes (video) – boat on water
- Chennai Memes (video) – military aid
