00:00We're trying to get a bridge bell to walk over.
00:04Then we want, we like to get the agree down that, you know, when you're by yourself, you could come down.
00:09And then the water from on top of the step, flushing out my house, all my son downstairs.
00:14We're losing everything every time the water comes down.
00:16This unstable bridge is used by families to transport groceries and other items daily.
00:23Children have fallen through the bridge and had to be rescued by fellow villagers.
00:27To journey up this hill is also a task.
00:31Even their pet dogs have to be careful.
00:35The bridge is built from old wood, old wood from our houses that is torn apart.
00:39We try to patch the bridge.
00:40We have young kids that fell through the bridge already, yeah, because the drainage down here is very bad.
00:46Mr. Sandy said once the necessary building materials are provided,
00:50men in the village will assist in rebuilding the bridge and other construction work needed to reduce flooding.
00:56So I just pack all the building to all the houses in the back down here.
01:00What is the necessary materials that you need?
01:02We need something like blocks, steel, cement, two by four, ply and these type of things.
01:11More, more, more necessary work for self-help because we could also, as she said, we could build, do all the work myself.
01:18We have other men that live in the village who could also contribute towards working and helping.
01:22TV6 News contacted Area Representative Nigel Tate on the matter.
01:27Mr. Tate said he would look into the case.
