Explanation:
1) Women were enlisted to care for the orphaned children, while men gathered food and other necessities for the refuge. When he saw the women were growing too depressed, he convinced them to join an NGO's food-for-work program.
2) Under Prashant's direction, the men worked as a team. They assisted him in persuading a local shopkeeper to sell rice in order to feed the survivors. They used fallen tree branches to cook their food.
3) Mobilized resources for planning and organizing active service.
4) The story "Weathering the Storm in Ersama" tells of a storm that hit the coastal town of Ersama in the state of Odisha in 1999. Prashant, a little child, braved the storm and made it to his village.
