For the climate change for us, 
people with disability in Kiribati,

00:00:39.434 --> 00:00:42.576
very, very dangerous for us.

00:00:42.576 --> 00:00:46.773
Dangerous because if the climate change happen

00:00:46.773 --> 00:00:53.733
and also the droughts and flood

00:00:53.733 --> 00:00:59.851
and like people with disabilities live in the village

00:00:59.851 --> 00:01:10.000
and there is no clean water.
They use water from the well

00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:16.557
and the water from the 
rain and the big dam.

00:01:16.557 --> 00:01:20.753

I think drama is very 
important for our organization,

00:01:40.806 --> 00:01:46.756

through drama to the people

00:02:08.667 --> 00:02:13.948
