It’s scary, especially when the water comes at night without you noticing. All of your things get wet. It’s frightening. Before, we didn’t experience flooding like this. Now it just suddenly happens. We really end up submerged. My understanding of climate change is that, in the past, things weren’t like this. Maybe it’s because the climate keeps changing.

A woman stands in her flooded kitchen, "When it’s supposed to be hot, it rains. When it’s supposed to be rainy, it becomes hot. The changes are quite obvious. I hope we find something within ourselves so this doesn’t continue."

I’m a tricycle driver, but right now I can’t drive as the water is too deep. I’m left with no choice but to stay at home. It’s extremely difficult … you don’t know what to do first, especially when you have children with you. First of all, climate change is the destruction of the atmosphere.

A man in red shorts stands in his flooded kitchen. "Secondly there is corruption. That won’t be eliminated. Before, there were many trees here. You wouldn’t be affected by high tide. Now, the trees are slowly disappearing. The careless disposal of trash is also a big reason."
