A photograph of a roadside relief distribution after a storm. Volunteers in white shirts and white hairnet-style caps stand on and beside an open orange-and-white truck, handing out food packets. Several villagers crowd close: a woman in a blue floral sari and teal blouse with her hair in a bun, an older woman in a green checked sari with a purple beaded necklace, a young man in a khaki striped shirt smiling, and a man in a grey shirt holding a bowl of food. Calm water and palm trees with bent branches lie in the background under a pale sky.
