Five months have passed since the devastating accident occurred in Faana, claiming the lives of nine young pupils. Remarkably, the 16-year-old canoe operator involved in the incident still hasn’t returned to his educational pursuits.
Despite the government’s assurances and commitments, the survivors of this tragedy continue to await the support that was promised to them, which encompasses not only the replacement of the lost canoe but also access to the much-needed psychological support to help them cope with the trauma they’ve experienced.
This prolonged delay in delivering on these promises has added to the frustration and uncertainty surrounding the already tragic situation.
