Mama Helen's house, pieced back together as best they could with old recycled & new plywood, 2x4 beams, bamboo, and plastic tarps to keep out the rain, after the June 2008 Typhoon Fengsheng, photographed last week in Santa Fe.

During Chris' conversation with Mama Helen, Mama explained that when her house first began to come down in the wind, the Family was asleep and was woken up by very loud crashing noises.

Mama Helen & Papa David then grabbed all their children and crammed them all under a few bamboo tables to shield them from the debris which was smashing into the house from all directions.
