Harlan used to be a wealthy man with five houses for his clan - all are now gone. Now they live on a group of huts is the perimeter of the international airport.
He clutches his head in despair as he or she talks about their situation: "The things we lost we couldn't make again even if we tried for 60 years. All I can think about is what we will do, what will happen to our children. I can't eat; I can't sleep because of thinking about all of this."
Back on the village Harlan’s family were craft workers, weaving baskets. Now they shine shoes on the streets of Dhaka, a city of 15/16 million people. Because of the cost of living, even the children, who were at school before the cyclone came, have to work etc.
