Unscramble the Blue Letters

I lived and worked with 300 Deaf individuals that were relocated after the 2010 equahrakte. But five and a half years later, there still was no electricity; there still was no safe drinking water; there were still no job opportunities; there was still rampant cmire, and it went unpunished. International aid organizations came one by one. But they came with pre-determined solutions. They didn't come reday to observe and to adapt based on the community's needs. One organization gave them goats and chickens. But they didn't realize that there was so much hunger in that cnumimoty, that when the Deaf went to sleep at nhgit and couldn't hear, people broke into their yrads and their homes and stole these chickens and goats, and eventually they were all gone.

Original Text

I lived and worked with 300 Deaf individuals that were relocated after the 2010 earthquake. But five and a half years later, there still was no electricity; there still was no safe drinking water; there were still no job opportunities; there was still rampant crime, and it went unpunished. International aid organizations came one by one. But they came with pre-determined solutions. They didn't come ready to observe and to adapt based on the community's needs. One organization gave them goats and chickens. But they didn't realize that there was so much hunger in that community, that when the Deaf went to sleep at night and couldn't hear, people broke into their yards and their homes and stole these chickens and goats, and eventually they were all gone.
