Santiago Sumale López built the house where all the memeber of his family stayed during the flooding caused by the hurricanes Eta and Iota in the village of El Mollejón, located in Petén, north of Guatemala. Santiago is blindless and his condition didn't allow him to scape of the storm and flooding, so he and his family lived in the second floor of their house for more that a month waiting for the water to disappear. They have to build recently a boat, on which they are sitting, in order to have a means of transportation to escape if necessary. The Asociación de Servicios Comunitarios de Salud, ASECSA, with the support of Diakonie Katastrophenhilfe, DKH, have provided to the residents of El Mollejón: food, medicine and medical care, as well a water purification filter. That humanitarian aid has been delivered to nine communities of Petén, and one of which is El Mollejón, a remote place located in the border with Mexico.

Tambazy (26) is from Sakalalina, east of Ihosy. Married to Saholy, he has a five-year-old child. Since 2023, he has been working in the quarries following the climate crisis in his home village. Tambazy, his small family, and his parents moved to Morarano, where they built small huts for shelter. To improve work in the quarries, collectors provide Tambazy with equipment such as generators and hammers to work more efficiently. Profits are shared after deducting expenses and equipment rental. Tambazy works three times a day in the quarries: in the morning, afternoon, and evening, sometimes late into the night. Headlamps are used for night work.
