These brave individuals are tasked with clearing the remnants left behind by an unforgiving earthquake that ravaged half the town and claimed over 77,000 lives. In this haunting landscape, amidst ruins and destruction, we witness their unwavering determination as they navigate through piles of rubble. Their faces etched with weariness but also resilience reflect the weight of loss and sorrow that hangs heavy in the air. Each cartload symbolizes not only physical reconstruction but also hope for a brighter future.
